Once they got back Chirrut wasted no time explaining himself. He explained to Cassian and Jyn that they were originally from another universe. Where they were rebels fighting against an empire. Putting the pieces together both of them began to realize that their dreams matched the exact events Chirrut explained. Jyn fired question after question but Cassian sat there silently processing everything. It made sense I'm a weird way he didn't want to fully admit but with everything that had happened it began to feel like he entire life has been fake.
Jyn and Cassian sat at a dining room table across from Chirrut and Baze. The silence between them filled by a ticking clock. Cassian watched the pendulum swing back and fourth repetitively. He let his mind wander from the present. He was remembering things too, unfortunately he wasn't remembering his family or where he came from. Instead he was remembering horrible things he had done. Murdering people for a supposed greater cause, lying to people he cared about. He shuddered, he wasn't really that kind of person was he?
"So how do you remember everything and we don't?" Jyn spoke suddenly bringing Cassian to the present. " I was always one with the force." He spoke calmly closing his eyes. "Due to my blindness my mind could not deceive my heart from the truth." Cassian rolled his eyes slightly. "What about Baze?" He questioned.
"It is only recently I remembered." He admitted. "But I'm glad I found Chirrut again as much as he is a pain in the ass." He spoke gruffly.
"You don't want to remember do you?" Chirrut observed Cassian.
"I do..." Cassian trailed off. He couldn't deny the truth the man spoke. He didn't want to remember his past self...if his past self was indeed the man he saw himself to be.
"We have a purpose to serve here..." Chirrut continued. "That doesn't mean you're the same person you were before." His words meaning comfort offered little to Cassian.
He rubbed his forehead. "It doesn't matter I guess, I'd rather figure out what's this means for us. Does this mean we have another mission to do? Or are we free to live our lives? That's what I wanna know." He explained driving the conversation away from himself. Jyn looked at him. She knew he was acting odd but he'd talk to her later.
"The force is always with us no matter the universe." Chirrut continued.
"In other words he's not totally sure quite yet but he believes we are needed for something." Baze translated.
"Great." Jyn sighed. "Could this mean that my Dad is alive in this world?" She asked her eyes lighting up.
"There is a slim chance, but this world is big finding him will not be easy, and he may not remember you."
Jyn blew air through her nose disappointed.
"That doesn't mean we can't try." Cassian offered. Jyn smiled meekly. "Yeah, maybe."
"We'll talk about this more but for now you both best get some rest." Chirrut waved Baze over.
"I ain't your maid Chirru" He quipped but came over nonetheless. "Can you show them to the spare room." He continued ignoring Baze. Baze rolled his eyes while grumbling something under his breath. "Come on." He gestured behind his with a quick nod of his head.
The room was bigger than Jyn expected for a cottage. Jyn laid herself in bed without a second thought. The mattress was soft and her aching body welcomed it. Cassian sat down at the edge of the opposite side taking off his jacket revealing a thin grey T-shirt. The fabric tight around his muscles.
"Are you okay?" Jyn ask softly watching his face, right now it was in a deepened frown. He had been quieter since her panic attack.
"I just don't know if I'm actually a good person." He stated his voice tightening.
He laid down and faced himself towards Jyn.
She rolled herself over to meet his gaze. She stretched an arm out to move his hair out o his eyes. "You've proven to me that you are a good person. " Cassian memorized her features , the way her plump lips parted slightly when she was in a deep thought. The way the light danced in her eyes when she looked up to him. He didn't want to forget it not for a second.
