He tried to let the past die. He tried to kill it. But now Kylo Ren is the Supreme Leader of Snoke's once formidable First Order, and he's come to realize that the past is all he has left. Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader—they've all served their purpose to shape him into the man he is today. He can’t forget that. Nobody can. Killing off the past isn’t that easy, especially when you have nothing else to hold onto. He's been lost for so long—searching for the path he must tread—but now there's no one to show him the way. Perhaps he can find the answers he is looking for on a distant world in the Unknown Regions.

The answers my not be what he is expecting.

*This story is set between Episodes 8 & 9, providing an alternate timeline.*

It was never finished, and with the rise of Skywalker already out, I don't think it ever will be. Will decide what to do with it based on the feedback I get. [Outdated note]
