[Rey listens, taking in each word and finding Marco is stronger than she would've thought. The pain to think one's mother was gone, only to find her alive and having to get her back. She couldn't imagine that, being close to someone you loved and having to fight to get them back...how hard he had to fight, and what he gave up or lost in the process.[
Yes, you are lucky you got her back. And luckier you found people to be friends with--a family you created and chose.
[A pause as she chooses her words and how much she was willing to tell him.]
Finn, I don't know if you've met him yet, but he was my first friend. I had been living alone on Jakku since I was young, probably six..maybe seven, I can't remember any more. I was just...left, and I was waiting for my family to return. I didn't meet Finn until...[Stars, had it really been that long ago?] Months ago, not to long before I was brought here.
[The whole loneliness thing and being forced to take care of herself...she knew that all too well.]
I already know Ivar lives in your home. I don't know if I know anyone else who lives there. It might be better if we used your room...I don't think I would be able to relax if someone could walk by.
[And if she freaked out from a nightmare, there would be only one witness rather than multiple ones.]
