This endeavor is only being done to watch our suffering-- his suffering. It is cruel, regardless of the subject matter. I can't watch that, and it isn't fair if Anakin hasn't even committed the crimes I'll so harshly judge him for. You do this for some pleasure I can't fathom, and it will hurt him more than anything.

Please.

I come to you to seek reason.

[maytheforce]

You. Only you. [He burns to kiss her, to hold her and make everything right between them again.]

[uncondoned]

It will take time to gain what I have lost. [But she is here, she is willing to at least try. Padmè could never give up on him.]

[maytheforce]

You will regain it, I will make you love me again.

[uncondoned]

Anakin, you cannot force this.

[maytheforce]

I can, I have to. You loved me before, you can love me again. [He is both desperate and earnest.]

[uncondoned]

Ani, I can never stop loving you. It is my faith in you that is broken. You've gone down a path I cannot follow. [And what if he chooses it again. She cannot fall again, not when she's already let it go.]

[maytheforce]

I won't follow it, I'll come back. I promise.

[uncondoned]

[She can't argue back, but his words do mean something. He is good. He is.]

It can't happen, Ani.

[maytheforce]

I'll make it happen.

[uncondoned]

Then you'll lose me.

[maytheforce]

How? I don't understand how my love for you can be a bad thing.

[uncondoned]

It isn't bad. Nothing so pure can be bad. Nothing that brought us our children is bad. It is what was done in its name.

[maytheforce]

[He shakes his head, unable to really believe that he would do that. Even if he took Palpatine as his master, he could never do anything to hurt Padmé. It went against everything he ever was or had ever been. Was it wrong to make the Republic a safer place for his wife and children?]

[uncondoned]

[She lifts his chin to look at her, to make him face this.]

Remember what you did when your mother died? What that anger made you do?

[maytheforce]

I slaughtered those Tuskan Raiders. That was different.

[uncondoned]

You killed them out of anger.

[maytheforce]

They killed my mother.

[uncondoned]

You thought I betrayed you.

[maytheforce]

I...

[he backs away]

No, it should have been Obi-Wan. He must have betrayed me. He took you from me!

[uncondoned]

[She doesn't follow, just sits there kneeling.]

You can't blame him for the path you chose.

[maytheforce]

He always held me back, Padmé, you know that. Held me back while calling me the Chosen One.

[uncondoned]

He wanted you to grow, Ani. He didn't want you to go down that path. [But he did anyway.]

[maytheforce]

He just wanted to keep me from you. You don't know how many times he tried to keep me away or ordered me to let you die when you were in trouble. He was jealous.

[uncondoned]

He didn't want this for you. To watch you turn. [Maybe the Jedi were right when they didn't let them marry.]

[maytheforce]

he wanted you for himself! [Nice delusion there, Ani.]
