[Unna Hi Chaanu]

Unna placed a comforting hand onto Lysire's shoulder. She fought back her own tears. "I watched my parents die as well. My father had been shot and my mother put me and Auro into a ship with him. We took off and I saw my mother fight alongside Auro's parents. Then there was an explosion and I saw them get swallowed by the fireball. Then my father succumbed to his injuries in flight and I couldn't save him. I didn't have a choice and neither did you. You did not choose to choose and who knows what they would have done next, had you not been rescued. It's also natural to protect the young and you were forced to make that decision."

Unna pauses for a moment to fight her tears, before continuing. "If it weren't for that instinct, I wouldn't be alive today. After my father died, I was inconsolable. The ship was about to crash and I couldn't bring myself to care, but then Auro began to cry. He was just a baby and I had to take control for his sake."

Unna placed her other hand on Lysire's other shoulder and looked her on the eye. "You did not kill anyone. What happened to your family was not your choice and you are not 'the girl who killed most of her family.' I also think it would be a shame to waste that passion for using your mind to channel The Force. Think of the hero who saved you. Maybe some day you can become a hero to somebody who needs one just as you and your brother once did, but to do that you will need to not let your talent go to waste."
