๐ฒ.
rey sees skywalker books' post and she has a lot of thoughts about it.

๐ณ.
ben talks to his boss: his mother.

๐ด.
that night, ben goes out with his friends as promised and rey decides to do the same with hers, ending up in the same place without them even knowing who they are; so close yet so far.

๐ต.
the next day, once again they're at the same place at the same time.

๐ญ๐ฌ.
after breakfast with zorri, rey checks out her gmail to find a new e-mail from kylo to kira.
