This chapter left me almost too emotional for words. :(
Master Yoda had told Anakin once that the Jedi needed to be shaken out of their complacency on a regular basis or they would stagnate. It had been one of their few points of agreement.
Alas, 'twas all too true.
“Hate. Fear. Anger, and… suffering,” Anakin said. All emotions that led straight to the dark side. “And they’re from me.”
*sighs*
Obi-Wan giving the Talk. Oh dear, I had to laugh, a little. But otherwise this is truly a sad chapter. Anakin feeling all the bad emotions, ones that he engendered in the past, but yet maybe his future, that's too depressing. Him actually wanting to be back in the Temple he knew--the old story of what we don't know what we have until it's gone, past hope or redemption.
The last few lines had me in tears. You're a very good and powerful writer.
