And you didn't say anything?

[There's an edge to her voice, but it's not directed solely at Han. Leia can think of plenty of reasons he might not want to be the one to have to say, Did you hear about what happened a few planet stops ago?

She's filled with impotent fury about so much: Alderaan, Caducus Primary, the perpetrator of the latter sharing a ship with them, the potential for future destruction here or at home.

For three years, she's spent her life trying to ensure no one else would ever suffer her loss, and it hasn't mattered at all. All the magical thinking she told herself was reasonable under the circumstances (if I just work a little longer tonight, it'll make a difference) doesn't change a thing. While she was preventing another Alderaan, it was happening anyway.

She's been trapped aboard a ship in an unknown galaxy and separated from her work by a chasm of millions or billions of light years, but it takes a polished lump of glass to make her feel like she's lost control of her life. And she hates it.]
