It's the source of my power. My ally and what makes me...well...me.

[She huffs a sigh.]

And it comes in two parts. The first is the side I'd generally tap into. We call it the Light Side, and it's largely benevolent. Healing...which I can't do, misdirection, and self empowerment.

And then there's the other side.

The Dark Side. It...is something dangerous. It's violent, it lets us destroy and tear things down, hurt and kill. It's powerful, it's...seductive. And something that takes over. Fear, anger, worry...any negative emotion can allow it to take a hold on a Jedi if it overwhelms them. When that happens, sometimes it acts through us, especially if we've been exposed to some of the things I've run into. [Odion and his death curse, for instance.] It can be mastered, through focus and meditation, turned aside and contained. I've never been the greatest at that, especially when stuff happens to my friends, but I'm working on it.

It's not an excuse, I just...I felt you should know.
