Well, if Obi-Wan was going to go there, Anakin figures he wouldn’t hold back. “‘Troubled’ is an over simplification of what I’m feeling.”
And for the briefest second he let Obi-Wan sense all of it, everything he was feeling all at once: the frustration of reality displacement and the despairing feeling of helplessness; concern, but care and joy, for his friends left behind; love for one person in particular, but he kept the full details back for his twin’s sake; there was a tremendous amount of sorrow, guilt, regret, and even anger, which he again, he kept the details back; and yet through it all there was also resignation and even some amusement. He let all that shine, and as quickly as it sparked, he pulled back again.
That wasn’t his point for coming.
“I need clothes,” he said, a request seemingly incongruous with all that emotion. It was down right practical. “Looks like I’ll be here a while and one pair of underwear is just not fair to anyone here.”
