[grunting]
[panting]
[both grunting]
[Aman laughs]
You had me fooled
with that fancy lightsaber.
- [Nakime grunting]
- I thought you were an actual Jedi,
but you're just a student.
A student who's got you
right where she wants you!
- [Aman laughing]
- [Nakime grunting]
You're better with an insult
than a weapon.
How very un-Jedi-like of you.
[both gasp]
[both grunting]
- Master.
- Nakime, your haste betrays you.
Surrendering to the heat
of emotion in battle.
Focus on the precepts, Padawan.
"Traverse all moments with a serenity
of heart." I know.
[grunting]
Nakime! Do not let emotion rule over you.
- [yells, grunts]
- [Aman laughs]
Oh, so you're the one
saddled with this fool.
Oh, what a burden.
I'll put her out of her misery!
[lightsabers clashing]
[dramatic music playing]
I've taken down villains like her
without any help at all.
[both grunting]
[whimpers]
[gasps]
[grunts]
[gasps]
[laughs cunningly]
[gasps]
- [laughs]
- [whimpers]
Nakime!
[grunts]
[serene music playing]
[groans]
[whimpers]
[breath trembling]
Master? Huh?
S So cold.
They're rocks.
[grunts] I have no idea where I am
and I can't see anything.
Why can't I [echoes] Master!
[whimpers]
[shivering]
[cries]
[rumbling]
[gasps]
[exclaims]
[whimpers]
[crying]
If the Sith comes after me now, I'm dead.
[laughs]
This is it, right?
She's on her way here.
Wait, where's my lightsaber?
[breath trembling]
[rattling]
[grunts]
[groans]
[breathing heavily]
[grunts]
[clicking]
[whimpers]
Huh? It's broken?
No way!
Argh! Worthless.
You're just a piece of junk!
- [thuds]
- [gasps]
[gasps]
What was that?
A person?
No, a statue.
Please help me. I beg of you.
There's still so much
I never got a chance to do.
[crying]
If you're there,
I just want to live.
[ethereal music playing]
[gasps]
These lights
are they from you?
[gasps] Oh.
[sighs]
If this is a trick [sniffles]
I'm not okay with it.
[serene music playing]
[rain pattering]
[Nakime grunts]
[breathing heavily]
Ah.
Raindrops.
The sky is open above me.
[captivating music playing]
[sighs in relief]
[chuckles]
[grunts]
[gasping]
[coughing]
[groaning]
A river?
No. Or a pond?
[inhales sharply]
[gulping]
[gasps]
[gulping]
[retches]
[gagging]
[muffled] What is that horrible taste?
[crying] No, not yet.
My life can't end like this.
[gasps]
[wind blowing]
[captivating music playing]
[whooshes]
[Daruma chirping]
[gasps]
Daruma! Is Master on his way?
You came to help me, didn't you?
- [Daruma beeping, chirping]
- Ugh.
I don't understand
what you're trying to say.
Master! I'm right here.
Please, I need you.
[Master] Nakime, trust in the Force
and its energy,
which binds all living things.
Don't lecture me!
I need something I can actually use!
[gasps]
[whooshing]
An illusion?
'Course, it was.
Even so,
I wish it would've told me
what I'm supposed to do.
[serene music playing]
[Nakime groaning]
[panting]
How long have I been walking for?
I've made it this far, but I [pants]
I can't [groans]
[panting]
[gasps]
You're right.
I can go on.
You would know.
The ways of life are no mystery
to an old tree like you.
I thank you for that.
[captivating music playing]
[sighs]
Just a little further.
[gagging]
That foul water
[grunting]
No
I don't wanna die. It isn't fair.
[gasps]
[lightsaber activates]
The Jedi! They're here!
[panting]
[groans]
Master, can you hear my voice?
[groans] Don't go!
[panting]
[sighs]
[crying]
There's nobody here.
Why haven't they found me already?
It's not fair!
I'm the one who can't see anything!
[gasps]
[wind blowing]
[ominous music playing]
[Nakime] The darkness.
Is it here for me?
[whooshing]
[gasps]
[groans]
[panting]
What strange fire
[whooshes]
[groans]
- [gasps]
- [thuds]
[breathing heavily]
Master! Did she strike you down?
But how?
[eerie music playing]
[Nakime gasps]
No.
[gasps]
The corpse It's me.
[shudders] Have
Have I been dead all along?
Stumbling through the world
as a lost soul? [yelps]
[gasping breaths]
[serene music playing]
[relaxing music playing]
[groaning softly]
[sighs softly]
[stomach rumbling]
Shut up.
Even if I could find
something to feed myself,
it's only putting off the inevitable.
[stomach continues rumbling]
Stomach's still rumbling.
Always hungry for more,
and we hate to be told no. [chuckles]
[pleasant music playing]
[sighs]
Let me cling to a shred of hope.
Even if it's just for tonight.
[gasps]
This was only a few months ago.
I was so eager for what lay ahead.
The path ahead seemed so hopeful.
On that day,
the future I glimpsed
was so bright with possibility.
[breath trembling]
[footsteps approaching]
[gasps]
[gasps]
[grunting]
The Sith!
[Aman] Aw, my poor little Padawan.
You could escape this
in the blink of an eye, you know?
- [grunts]
- All it will take to free yourself
is surrendering to the emotions
you try so hard to hide away.
Allow your fear
and your anger to claim you.
[grunting]
If you don't give in to them,
you're going to die.
And you wouldn't want that,
would you?
[grunts, sighs]
[Aman] Submit and survive another day
- [sighs]
- or perish as a Jedi failure.
[breath trembling]
I can't deny it.
[Aman] Hmm?
Master told me over and over
that I can't keep making decisions
for my own benefit.
Sense of self is my undoing.
It was easy to fall to the dark side.
[laughs maniacally]
Just because your master
filled your skull with Jedi garbage
doesn't mean you have to believe it.
Now,
join me and I will set you free.
[music building up]
[groans] I'm such a fool.
It was
It was all in my head!
[serene music playing]
[pants] I can't go any further.
What shall I do? Show me the way.
[Toad] If I may,
- hail and hello, stray human.
- [groans softly]
You have done well to find me.
- [grunts]
- [Nakime] No,
- I just heard a voice, and then
- Mmm?
[laughs] If you think your ears have grown
more keen as of late, young one,
then allow me to shoo away
that wrongheaded belief at once.
They're the same fallible flaps
that they ever were.
Huh? [chuckles] No. I just thought I was
getting used to losing my sight.
As you travel the path of knowledge,
your connection to the Force
grows stronger.
Wait.
Don't tell me you'd failed to notice.
[laughs]
It is your heart that is blind.
Why lament your eyes?
- [gasps]
- Arrogance has hobbled you.
Cast it aside.
Entrust yourself to the flow of nature.
Accept it.
The Force resides in all things.
You will never take a false step
if you let it guide you.
- Huh?
- Let the Force guide you.
[sighs]
Yeah, yeah.
[grunts] Force, show me the way.
- No, not here.
- [grunts, groans]
[Toad] True vision flows from beyond
the stars to part the veil of illusion.
But you cannot partake of such clarity
till you are one with the current.
[sighs]
"With the current."
Ow! I'm freezing!
What is this supposed to
help me understand? Ugh!
Why am I drowning myself like this?
[shivering]
[gasps]
[captivating music playing]
[sighs]
Uh
[gasps]
[birds screeching]
[gasps softly, sighs]
It's barely sprouted.
[Dark Side Nakime]
There is no need to fear, Nakime.
Take it in your hand.
- The power of life is within your reach.
- [gasps]
So be it.
No matter what,
I want to live.
As long as I have this,
no one can defeat me.
Good. You're learning.
Silence, you evil phantom! [grunts]
[gasps]
Ha! What's the matter?
Come on, kill me if you even can!
[yelling] Shut up!
[laughs maniacally]
Oh, yeah. All that fire inside,
let it burn everything!
[yells]
[grunting]
[dramatic music playing]
[breathing heavily]
[yells]
[laughs]
Why do you still cling to their lies?
- [laughs]
- [grunts]
Do you fear me, little girl?
Do you hate me? Say it.
Yes.
I fear you.
And I despise you! [grunting]
You want to get out of here
'cause you're a coward, huh?
Yes! I don't want to die here alone!
- Is that so horrible?
- [laughs]
Now we're getting somewhere.
[both grunting]
Come on, then. Tear your life back
from the edge of the abyss.
Revel in the freedom
of your hatred and your rage.
Dare to unleash your truest self!
I don't get it.
What hideous part of me are you? [gasps]
Of course.
You're my
[grunts]
my immaturity, my impulsiveness,
my ego and my fear of death.
I see.
It's all connected.
[sighs]
Kill me and you can live.
- Why don't you strike me down?
- [Nakime grunts]
[groans]
[grunts] Why didn't you block my attack?
- [groans]
- [shouting] Answer me!
[groans] The Jedi taught me their ways
[breath trembling]
but I never truly believed in them.
- [gasps]
- I was bound by my own desires.
My selfishness always found
a way to put them first.
My heart, my resolve,
my purpose was weak.
That's why anything I feared
became my foe.
I was flailing in a web of my own design.
Now I see the two of us
were never foes to begin with.
You're a part of me and I of you.
[gasps, shouts] Shut up!
Have you
been afraid of me too?
[screams]
[breathing heavily]
Yes, Master.
"Traverse all moments
with a serenity of heart." I shall.
- "Do not let emotion"
- [Master] Do not let emotion
- rule over you.
- "rule over you." Hmm.
Death will terrify me no longer.
If I should die, I will surely
become one with the Force.
I would rather lose my life
than lose hope,
- like a Sith.
- [Dark Side Nakime gasps]
[panting, cries]
[Nakime] It's all right.
There's nothing to fear.
[crying]
No, I I want to live.
I can't die like this.
This isn't fair! [sniffles]
Please. I'm so afraid!
[crying]
[Nakime] I know.
I know, because you're me.
Letting go is hard,
and it's thanks to you
that I can die as a Jedi.
Goodbye, my weakness.
It's time to move on.
But know,
I'll always be with you,
for you are a part of my soul.
I can feel it.
Master's lesson.
I think I've finally taken it to heart.
[hopeful music playing]
[groans]
[water splashing]
I'm alive
I think. [sighs]
[chuckles softly]
[gasps]
[sighs softly]
May I always be at one with the Force.
[captivating music playing]

No, I I want to live.
I can't die like this.

Please. I'm so afraid!
[crying]
[Nakime] I know.
I know, because you're me.
Letting go is hard,
and it's thanks to you
that I can die as a Jedi.
Goodbye, my weakness.
It's time to move on.
But know,
I'll always be with you,
for you are a part of my soul.
I can feel it.
Master's lesson.
I think I've finally taken it to heart.
