It'd be a real shame, y'know? If I had to use my power and make a bunch of random nobodies walk in front of the train tracks just so I could get an audience.
[ she's just lonely, rey tells herself. catra is acting out because she's lonely. she's not a terrible person. she wouldn't drag innocent lives into this.
then again, she'd once given kylo ren the same benefit of the doubt. ]
[ it's almost resigned. almost genuinely sorry. but if it were as simple as posting to the network, rey would have done it. it's not about her ego; it's about the fact that catra won't accept platitudes, and rey knows beyond question that catra is never, ever going to be able to beat her like she describes.
rey doesn't assign herself a lot of value, but she knows the worth of her fighting skill like she knows what the sun feels like. ]

I'll let this go when you admit defeat.
Not the fake, placating, "I'll say whatever to get you to go away," kind.
The real kind.
When you're on your knees in front of me and you know you can't win. When you admit that you're not better than me.
That's when I'll let this go.
