Oh, I love the emotions in this fic! I like Obi-Wan a lot but I'm not actually familiar enough with Star Wars to know Luminara; still, you gave me a good idea of her character with this fic, which I really appreciate!

I especially liked:

He takes a step towards her and pauses, as if he welcomes the sight of her, but also worries that it means she’s come to kill him. She wants to know who’s hurt him so badly that he can’t trust the sight of a friend he’s had since childhood.

Obi-Wan closes his eyes tightly, but he’s not judging her. No, this is pain. This is empathy. This is understanding. Luminara’s eyes widen.

and

His hands tremble in her grip. He wets his lips and closes his eyes. “I keep wondering where I failed him.”
She leans on him, wrapping her arms around him tightly. She remembers those questions.


And the ending of the fic, where it's easier to believe when it comes from another person... I'm not even familiar with the importance of the new tattoo but that ending line still felt super important in a way I really enjoyed. I liked this one a lot!
