[Leia listened as he gave short- in some cases one word- answers to her questions. Again, not like him; he was usually very talkative.

They might know what happened after their time, but do they know how you felt when it was happening, or afterward? The thought process behind the decisions you made? There are places you've been that they haven't yet, people you've met that they haven't yet; do they know what your first impressions of them were? How those places looked and sounded and smelled and felt? The ridiculous souvenir trinket that you bought at one location and how the food tasted at that little cafe you found later? [Leia shook her head.] No. Only you have the complete picture of all that.
[The hurt in those eyes didn't escape her notice, though. Leia knows about hurting. And she also knows about healing.]
You don't regret your choice to take on the emotions you have, but I can tell it hasn't been easy for you. Letting yourself feel never is. It means learning what it really means to hurt. But it also means learning how to heal. Though despite your name, something tells me you're not so good at the latter; am I right?
[She passed over the notion that his past selves had reason to be disappointed in him for now; they'd deal with that shortly.]
