[The Jedi Order is no more, not here in Empatheias, and not back home for Obi-Wan, either. It's a sobering reality that is so farfetched that Qui-Gon has to remind himself constantly that this is the fate of the people and code he'd grown to love with every fiber of his being.]
Would you have been able to leave it all behind for her? Would you have been able to throw away everything you've ever known without resenting her for it in the long run?

Aspects that Qui-Gon has had time to think about himself, following his own brush with love and how it could have interfered with his own life in the Order.]
