"You were there with me on Gorse when we watched the explosion on Cynda," Kanan said, after a long pause. "You helped me bury Okadiah. And I'm here now, and we've got a cargo hold full of Rodians and we've got a fifty-fifty chance of dying anyway and I'm... weirdly okay with that."

He sighed.

"Hera, I'm not going to do anything I don't believe in. I want to think you know me well enough to know that. When there's something I can do, I do it. Hell, I was halfway to committing to something like this before we even met. That stupid island has a funny way of doing that. The difference now is that you make me believe I can. I'm going to end up in this fight one way or another. If it's gonna happen, I want it to happen beside you."
