Your father would have been proud of you, Jyn
Not that he could or had any right to speak for her father
Not that he wanted to seem to be trying to make up for the past
He just needed something… loving to say to her

And her answer
Her support
Her embrace

"Yes," he said, face pale, voice changed. "Same."

He hadn't considered himself surviving. Everything had been about Jyn.

When he pleaded her back to him from the Man in White
Leave it - that's it - let's go
knowing what he was asking her to simply give up
but for whatever time he had left, he was done wasting a single moment more of them on war
which rendered him null

He didn't matter. He shouldn't. Facing a far better death than he could ever have achieved on his own.

But who cares. He only mattered insofar as he affected Jyn.

He looked at her sitting there, the miracle he'd wished for, and couldn't contain the feeling silently. He took her hands again and said with his whole being: "I'm so glad you're alive."
