(Since she has been made aware of her prior stay, Padmé decides to use her tablet to send out a message. She is pale, but strangely resolved to this new plight. Her hair is ornately braided, but her clothing is plain. She's just happy to have clothes and to be rid of that white gown!)

Greetings, everyone. Some of you might recognize me; I want to speak to you if that is the case.

(The faster she is up to speed, the better.)

For those I am encountering for the first time, hello. I'm Padmé. Some of my family is present and -

I would like very much to protect them. I'm sure you can understand the feeling.

Then we'll work on making them different. [Because what mama wants, mama gets. Even if it's difficult or awkward. That's not about to stop Luke. The alternative is what? Disappointing her? Never!]

[Hearing her say that makes his throat catch and he buries his face for a moment. Letting himself feel. Not only for himself, but for his father and their family as a whole. So much that's been taken for them. And for what?]

I know. I think... in his own way, he still does.

[It's awkward, maybe a bit jilted, but that doesn't make it any less real.]
