"
It's fine. I don't mind helping," Komi said softly, as she went about cleaning up the dishes with a sense of familiarity, her movements deft and efficient as she carried items through the room. Despite her accustomed ease with the task, her mind seemed preoccupied with deeper thoughts because braze asked for clarification of her question.

The mention of Jedi seemed to evoke a palpable fear in her, as if the mere thought of encountering one sent shivers down her spine. "

Komi's expressions seemed to deepen, revealing a complex web of emotions tied to her allegiance to Teresa, who she acknowledged was not always a benevolent figure. "
Don't get me wrong, I love her just like family, and she does more for me than what you'd probably think. I know Teresa... does things sometimes that is cruel. I've seen it the things she's done to a bad person." she admitted reluctantly. "
Some things she does confuse me, even frightens me. I'd trust her more despite the bad things she does."
Komi continued to get more dishes. "
I don't think she's a bad person though."
