Lyra slumped against her seat as the broadcast finished.
She sat in the archives on Ajan Kloss, and what started out as another read through of ancient Jedi texts turned into a HoloNet nightmare. She hadn’t seen Oren for sometime, his last visit to showcase his new arm, but she didn’t expect to see him now, and on the news. In prison, according to the Sector Ranger. The revelation shocked her.
What hurt her was the fact that she was one of the reasons why.
When Oren rescued her from the thugs on Coruscant, she didn’t think it would lead to a chain reaction into his arrest. He saved her. Now, who was to blame more than herself? If she hadn’t been walking alone that night, if she hadn’t been so stupid as to cross those thugs, Oren wouldn’t have done what he did. He wouldn’t have been arrested.
Lyra held her face in her hands, guilty.
No.
She had to do something, anything, to make this right. She had to learn more, else Oren’s current fate could lead into something much worse.
Quietly, she closed her book, felt the data chip she had stolen that night in her pocket, and left the library.
