Skyscrapers loomed overhead, higher than anything she had ever thought possible. They were so tall that for a moment she felt certain she had been shrunk down to the size of an ant, or something. It was just another reflection on how small and insignificant she was when compared with the Galaxy at large. Lost among a swathe of people going about their day to day life, so absorbed in their own affairs that they believe themselves the centre of it all.
Only they weren't.
There was so much more out there, so much they could never comprehend. Species' they had never seen, planets they had never heard of, religions, philosophies, people and cultures. It was crazy... And that was just within their one Galaxy... The Universe was ginormous, and the Vong were living proof that sapient life existed outside of their own little pocket of space.
Today, though, Jyn was getting lost in the smaller details of her own life. After all, the human condition made it exceedingly difficult to think big for too long. Cracks had begun to form in the very fabric of her life, little lies flowing free that alone may have seemed like nothing, something that had been overlooked or simplified when she was a child. But together they spoke of something different entirely. She was not who she had been made to believe she was... Her very DNA spoke of this lie.
So she had come to the one place in the Galaxy she had felt compelled to visit. She didn't entirely understand why, though. Coruscant was not a place she had any recollection of visiting. She could list the world's she had visited without issue; Dromund Kaas, Korriban, Atrisia... All of them up until she woke up on that space station. Had she visited in the years her memory was missing? Is that why she felt so compelled?
Jyn could not say for sure. But she was there all the same, wandering through the undercity, hoping that none of the One Sith's enforcers would find and stop her. She was afraid that one may recognise her from her time in the Empire, though she had been little more than a child back then. Jyn could not imagine being made to return to the Sith, her experiences among them still haunted her to this day.
