  • Rowan: You’re here, but how?

  • Rowan: Only Rey would know to bring me here.

  • Scene: Then suddenly he saw Rey running up the bridge. He rushed into her embrace as they kissed.

  • Rowan: How did you find your way back?

    Rey: I found an unused portal in the abandoned part of a town nearby. After finding a way to reactivate it I knew the first person I wanted to see was you. I’ve missed you so much.

    Rowan: I was so afraid that I would never see you again, that you would be trapped down there forever.

    Rey: You know me, I’ll always find a way for us to be together.

    Rowan: Aiko is meeting with the council right now, sharing with them the details of your journey. I think she could use some help. If what she has to say is all true, it will be hard for them to accept.

    Rey: Oh it’s true. I have a few eye-openers to share with them as well.
