Cassian's hand is warm on her face and instinctively her hand lifts to cover his, curling her fingers around his without thinking. It's not safe, she has to go with him now. Distantly she hears Saw saying her father's name but it's Cassian that brings her back to the present, stomach swooping when she feels the ground quaking beneath them. Something terrible was happening to Jedha.

Her father's words spark in her mind and she feels like she's going to throw up.

Her head turns back to Saw, pulling herself out of Cassian's grip as she jerks unsteadily to her feet, but keeping her hand curled so tightly around his that he would have to pry her hand off his to be free.

"Saw, we have to go." Before the words were out of her mouth she saw the defiance in his eyes, the resignation that make her body go suddenly cold. Her eyes flicker across him again, seeing all the pains taken to keep him alive because he was trying to save her, limbs replaced by metal, life support keeping his heart pounding in his chest. She knows already that he isn't coming with them, knows before he even looks away from her to Cassian.

"You must go."

"Come with us! You have to." She can hear herself begging, hear the shameful neediness cracking her voice like the rocks are cracking beneath their feet. "Saw."

The old rebel's eyes shift back to the child he had raised as his own for so many years, softening. "Safe yourself. Please."
