It's been some days since Ezra crystallized completely, they had been watching over him every day but there was no sign of changing, the crew wasn't the same, Hera locked herself in the cockpit, Sabine wasn't painting anymore, Zeb didn't chased Chopper and passed most of the time training with Kallus, Chopper didn't do pranks, but the one that was most affected was Kanan.

He never left his Padawan's side, he kept repeating to himself that this was only temporary that Ezra would come back and everything would be as always.

But nothing changed and the crew started to get worried about him. He didn't eat or sleep too much only when Hera forced him to leave and that was bad. He only left the med-bay to go to the bathroom.

One day Kanan started to talk to Ezra trying to see if that would bring him back.

Kanan: "Ezra, if you're still there, please come back, we need you, I need you, everything is different now, you have to come back, you're the one that keeps this team together, please I need you".

Kanan started to cry.

Kanan: "I'm so sorry, I should have protected you better I failed you as a Master, I regret many things now, but the one I most regret is that I never told you that I love you".

Kanan said and leaned to his Padawan and kissed him on the lips. Then Ezra on the end of his conscious felt warmer, at first he doubt on taking this warmer feelings but at the end he started to reach more for it, having something that he thought he would lost, hope.
