An Empire of fear and violence that was established before him.
Do you expect something like that is torn down overnight? Certainly not while the mind is occupied by other things.
Unless, of course, you plan to kill all of those children they stole in your war.

[This, she knows from experience. Tearing down government is what she has been doing since she was old enough to know what it meant.]

Yes. You are right.
Slavery is inexcusable. The bondage of children for war, even more so.
But given that you are on opposite sides of said war, I don't imagine you know very much about what is being done about that, do you?

He's had a year, and it hasn't slowed. It hasn't stopped. He's not going to. This is the empire he helped Snoke build. The only difference is that now, he's the one in charge of it.

If you care to know what I believe, it's that neither of you know or understand what the other struggles with.

I am not talking about your war.

You are lying to yourself.
If you did not see something within him, you would not have treated him as you did before you left.
But it is not for me to convince you one way or the other.
You will need to navigate that on your own.

Was there anything else you wanted to say to me?

No.

[ she had hoped that daenerys might change her mind. that she would turn away from kylo as well, that rey could then apologize and know daenerys would understand why running was all that she could do. but daenerys puts downs roots instead.

she realizes, then, that this will keep happening. people choosing sides. and she has to wonder who else she might lose. ]

Alright then.
