From there, they could watch as the scavengers picked through the buildings looking for anything. The Republic Troopers were picked clean of their equipment. Over watches like Duncan and Trysta made sure that they were not surprised by another Republic patrol. Though, a Star Destroyer could have slipped back Trysta as she found it very hard to focus. After about ten minutes she finally broke her silence.
"I can't explain it. I felt the moment he died. No, it wasn't when I cut his head off. He was dead before that moment. I felt his life fade from this world. I saw his life that he was leaving behind. His family, his children. I saw them all, I felt their loss," Trysta explained as she looked in to her hands. "I don't know what is wrong with me," she said looking up to Duncan. There was genuine fear in her eyes over what was happening to her.
Duncan felt for her. Since he had been learning from Auro's holocrons he had been opening himself up more to the force letting it guide him. Since then he had found himself feeling more... he didn't know what to call it. The closest word he could put to it was compassion. He didn't know what he was becoming, but it was no longer the pure warrior he had been trained to be. He was becoming something else, someting more. "I don't know what you're going through. But it sounds like you might be feeling regret for what you did. It seems to me that those of you that feel the force strong enough to use it to do the things you guys do, are connected to life on another level. Why wouldn't you feel the loss of a life or even the loss of many lives deeply? This whole war must be effecting you and every force user on this planet in ways they never thought possible."
