Ever heard of survivor's guilt?

Why can't I be Cherrutimve, Bez Malbus, Bohdi, Rourke or Cassian Andor?

Why was I born as Jin Erso? Miraculous survivor of the battle to retake the Death Star at Scarif Beach?

Why am I the only Rogue still breathing today?

Nightmares continue to haunt me. And once again, countless times in my life I have been startled by it.

war

I could hear my own gasping for breath, my heartbeat so loud it could almost burst out of my chest. But isn't that good? Because at least it means I'm still alive.

So wrong, it's the survivors who are unlucky.

What does war give us? I still can't answer that question.

But if there is a question about what war has taken from us, I'm not sure I'll be able to chase it all away in one day.

I would never call myself a war hero or heroine. How can I do it? After all, everyone who made that victory possible is dead. What's the point of being alone?

How is this? Survivor's Guilt It's not even cool if everyone is left behind.

The current news is that word has spread throughout the galaxy that the Rebel Alliance is getting closer to destroying the Death Star. My father would be proud.

But I'm so done with that kind of life and the crazy politics that I don't even have the privilege of choosing a side.

I'm just on Dad's side and he's hopeful.

That was enough of a reason for me to join the rebels.

"Jin, it's nice to see you again." The droid's low voice made me flinch again, or had I not yet woken up from this nightmare tonight?

It's still the same as yesterday. There was no mistake. It's just an Imperial mannequin. Tall, bulky, black body. Or will I finally be able to die this time?

Go ahead, hurry up and finish it. I looked at the droid with disgust. Every bad memory It came back into my head. But I don't plan on fighting it. I've had enough of fighting and it never gave me anything. All I know is loss.

But just now I heard the words “Nice to see you again”?

Consciousness returned to my body and I slowly narrowed my eyes at it, repeating those words again. “Nice to see you again?”

He nodded, “That's right. I'm K2SO. Don't you remember me? But there's a reason. I died once.”

“Just kidding!” I used both my bare hands to stand on the ground. Back and forth until it collides with the hard cave wall. I want to tell you how much we've had together. But my survival instincts kicked in automatically and I immediately picked up the dagger I had been carrying.

He tilted his head slightly, “What are you going to do?”

“I don't know how to protect myself. Killing you!?” I shouted without thinking carefully as I had very little time left.

“The probability of success is one point zero four percent,” he answered me deadpanly. Walking closer than before, “You know there are only a few places where you can stab me that will stop me from working, and they are too high for a human of your height.”

“You won't know if you don't try, right?” I smiled arrogantly at him. At least I wanted to die with honor. Even if you can't fight.

“I can't do anything to you, you know?” One of his arms lifted up and waved in the air clumsily. It's like making gestures to accompany words. “Captain Cassian ordered me to do that.”

That made me freeze immediately.

“Welcome home.” I heard a language spoken with a strange accent.. But of course it was a friendly voice from the other side. The Imperial Puppet and I turned to look at the source of the voice at the same time.

Cassian Andor and his stern face

“What are you doing?” I frowned. Just seeing his face for less than a minute brought many things to mind. The past has already gotten more than my brain can handle.

both bad and good

“Looking for Galen's Stardust.” His face remained as serious as ever. But his eyes and voice became softer. I remember every moment of embracing him on that beach.

Just moments before my body would disintegrate, a spaceship swooped over me. Only one person…

I screamed Cassian's name but it was no use. The unit says he did the best he could.

At that time, I just closed my eyes tightly. I know I have flown above Scarif's orbit. But the power of that terrible explosion was strong enough to make me feel the shaking and the lives that were lost.

"You're not dead yet..." I said to myself. But it was loud enough for him to hear.

One corner of his mouth rose, both hands spread slightly. Eyes looking at yourself from toe to toe It's still thirty-two. “As far as you can see I guess that is it.”

I rushed over and hugged Cassian, not caring that my hands might squeeze him so tightly that it would be difficult for him to breathe. “This isn't a dream, right?”

“No sweet dream can compare to this reality.” The smile in his voice was so clear that I could easily feel it.

I slowly pulled away. Both hands moved to support his face. I could almost see stars dancing in Cassian's eyes.

And maybe he saw it in my eyes too. I know tears can mean weakness, but Cassian knows me like the back of his own hand.

His thumb wiped my cheek, “I spent a long time chasing starlight.”

I smiled through tears, “And did you find it?”

“You know I'm not a quitter,” his smile only grew wider. “I definitely can't stand looking at myself if I have to stay like that.”

“I guess we both like to torture ourselves in the most lonely way.”

He didn't say anything but wiped away my tears again before pressing his lips to mine.

I slowly closed my eyes. For most of my life, I had only a handful of friends.

But that's enough.

He slowly removed his lips. Knowing that I needed space to breathe When everything was so overwhelming that I wasn't sure I could take it.

Today I may only have one friend and one and a half friends left, but I know that this is all I have left in life. That's enough to keep me going.

Cassian laced his fingers tightly with mine, I knew no one would let him go. Not both him and me.

I'm starting to get used to people still standing next to me. Even if bad things happen

I'm glad at least I'm home.

W R I T E R

We actually liked the ending.

R1

Very true to the movie version. Give the feeling that this is it.

a story worth telling

According to critics of

Rolling Stone

Telling it is the story of

unsung (war) heroes

real

But there's one story that refuses to end, haha, so I'm writing a fanfic about it and adding on.

wishful thinking

Ours at first as seen

K2SO

The first one was taken down. We console ourselves very much. “In the end, the hero and heroine must survive. Then go and reprogram another droid.” In the end, it's haha.... just like what you see in the movie.

Let's add a little bit from the fic, besides Jin who was miraculously saved at the last second and Cassian was dragged away as well. But from a different ship, it's certain that Cassian doesn't have any friends and is lonely and doesn't wake him up.

K2SO

Come, Jin already thought that you were the only survivor. (Lonely together song, come. **playing**)

The first time, we watched it and didn't think anything of it. Everything was coming together so heavily that we thought everyone was a war comrade. But when we watched the second time, we picked up the details and thought, wow, if these two people survived. Yes. There must be a sequel. The scene in the elevator like this. Friends don't look at each other like you do. //I have a very strong imagination.

There is gossip that

Felicity Jones

Signed a contract saying he could come back and play again, but it would probably come like that.

cameo / flashbacks

Maybe, but let's imagine that we survived in confusion and went to grow vegetables and garden like Father Kaelen.

Thank you for this novel.

Gareth Edwards

That makes fans' imaginations even brighter than before. Plus, it closes up the gaps.

EP. IV

I got it all, which actor?

Felicity Jones, Diego Luna

Again, they're matching together. (Glad it's not

Aaron Paul, Edgar Ramirez

or

Sam Claflin

According to the rumors, it doesn't mean it's not good. But I think Diego is very suitable.)

Where is your fanwork?

Comes with the lyrics

Starlight

of

It was very appropriate, so I borrowed it as the title.

But in the end, I have to thank everyone who has wandered in. Can't fall. Just having people read it makes me very happy <3
