Anakin was quiet. Hauntingly quiet. He approached Obi-Wan and stared down at his former Master, but he spoke no words. He desperately wanted to tell someone, especially Obi-Wan of his realization. Of everything that had went on. About what the future could possible hold. But he couldn't betray that secret. He couldn't tell anyone.
And suddenly he never felt more alone.
Was it true what he believed? If it was ...
A certain sense of panic swelled up. If Obi-Wan found out -- he could be thrown out of the Order. He could be exiled or whatever other punishment they could come up with. He had to do something. He had to stop Obi-Wan from finding out.
But tearing Luke away now would look suspicious.
He was lost. Confused. Unsure of what to do.
So he fell back to the basics.
"Master... I apologize. I acted foolishly." He recited the words as he had done a thousand times. He no longer had to follow Obi-Wan, but he still found himself doing so at times.
He struggled to keep his emotions from boiling over, but his internal conflict was in vain. He looked away. All he could do now was keep himself calm.
