"It's nothing," Rey replied. After all, what he was feeling couldn't exactly be called distress. It wasn't as if he knew for sure, in any case. The only way to receive confirmation was for someone from his world who knew him to come here, but he wouldn't wish that on them.

So if in the end, he'd never know, there was no need to keep wondering, was there? Still, Rey couldn't help but hope that he was dead.
