Ben had been working on a mouse droid to keep his mind occupied when he felt it: the familiar, stomach clenching vacuum in the Force of someone who should be there not existing any longer.
And even though he'd known it was coming, even though he'd grown up knowing it would happen, even though he'd said his goodbyes, that empty feeling was a shock all over again.
Anakin?
Anakin?!
ANAKIN!
He curled into a ball, rested his head on knees, and wept.
He'd be there for a while.
