I think we would both be underestimating the enormity of it if we weren't both a little scared. It's an unknown that we've never stepped foot into. But I think that as long as we're together - as long as we communicate, we'll manage.

I want to share everything with you, even the things I never thought that I'd have for myself. Even the things that scare me. Maybe it won't be perfect, but it will be ours, and that will be enough.

I know the feeling. But I'll share my strength when you need it, and you can share yours when I do. Until then, we keep fighting. We'll get there, I believe that.

I believe it, too. I've got to believe in us and in the rebellion. Even these days when it's hard to hold on to hope.

I'm not a very optimistic man by nature. But you make me want to be an optimist.

We must hold onto something, and that's what I choose to hold on to, especially on the days that it's hard to find anything good. It's well worth fighting for - you, and us, and that future.

I feel the same. We'll get there, you and I.

[captain_by_the_book]

We will. I know we will.

Even if it takes years yet. I mean, realistically speaking, it will take years. But some things are worth the wait.

I believe in you, and I trust in us.

Good thing, then, that we've got many of those in front of us yet. Good ones. Happy ones. And we'll get there, Cassian, no matter what it takes.

I guess we do. It still feels strange, you know. I used to try my hardest never to make any plans beyond the next mission. Not to get attached so I won't leave anyone behind to mourn.

And now...

[made_of_stars]

I know.

Keeping to myself was easier than the thought of leaving someone behind. Not coming back is still a very real possibility, I know that, but I want to believe that there's something for us beyond all of this.

I'm scared. I'm really scared. But I'm holding onto that hope anyway.

[captain_by_the_book]

I'm scared, too. But it's a little easier knowing it's a shared fear now.

You're allowed. You don't have to be strong all the time. I'll hold you up when you need it.
