[ What she sees looming above her is her brother, his blade raised, and his eyes... Leia's breath feels trapped in her throat at the raw desperation staring down at her, the unspoken apology in his strained expression, the internal struggle he goes through in preparing to deliver the cutting blow to his nephew. What he's about to do, Luke knows that it's not right, Leia can see it. He would be betraying her, snuffing out the life she'd entrusted him with.
Leia feels that betrayal as her own then. It's not just something she experiences through the flash of the memory engulfing her senses. Her own brother had been prepared to murder her son while he slept. What would drive him to such an act? Was that what he'd meant when he said he couldn't save her son? Had he given up and gone for a quick end?
The realization changes her entire expression. Her cane clips once against cement as she catches herself, the air sucked out of her. But why? is what she wants to ask. Why? ]
I... [ How can she deny what she saw, through him? A tremor leaves her knees trembling, her entire being grasping for balance. Softly then, pained in her admittance, her eyes squeezing shut: ] I see it.
