You deserve to be loved

Two pale blue moons shone over the horizon in a starry sky. []

An image flashed through his mind, of a time long gone. He was standing looking at the Lothali moons with Kanan at his side, the familiar weight of his hand on his shoulder.

Ezra felt something growing up in his chest, a pressure he had kept in check since arriving, but now it was suddenly increasing, taking him by surprise and completely unprepared. []

The Ghost. Home.

The image of his parents dissolving in front of him.

He fell on his knees, holding himself, sobbing and trying to breathe, trying to calm himself... but it was no use. [] He needed this to happen. He allowed himself to cry, to yell in pain, let it all out as tears covered his face.

He didn't notice when Thrawn had arrived and crouched at his side.

"Are you hurt?" a frown on his face.

Ezra looked at him in confusion. Of course he was hurt. How could he not see it? [] Was he truly incapable of real emotion?

Then he was walking with him, and the last thing he knew, he was back on his cot. When he woke up, [] it was day already. []

Coming out of his hut he saw Thrawn, cleaning his hands from some kind of black tincture.

"Ah, you are awake. Good. [] You required some rest. It was understandable."

"I-" Ezra scratched the back of his head and looked away from him in embarrassment. Something his attention from the corner of his eye. He froze with a silent gasp. His eyes watered again.

He had trouble breathing.

There, against one of the trees, was a small wooden tablet with a drawing. It was the picture of his parents with him as a child, replicated with black ink. []

"I apologize. Even though I had studied that photo many times I lack the detailed skills of Miss Wren and the necessary tools and pigments to-"

"No, it’s fine," Ezra hurried to say as he dried his tears and tried to keep his hands from shaking. []

“Last night you mentioned you wished you had it with you. [] It was something I could provide."

After a long silence, Ezra nodded.

"Thank you."

Lesser Evil is already breaking me.

I needed for him to be seen for a tiny fictional bit.
