Again her head shakes, though this time it is firmer, like she's decided something and is determined to stand by that decision.
"When Mama gave it to me, she told me to trust the Force." She doesn't, she never has, she doesn't know if she ever will. She knows she's told part of the story to Cassian before, however, but these are new details. She'd always stopped at 'my mother gave it to me' and kept the details to herself. It probably isn't fair to drop all the details on Cassian now but. She can't screw it up more than she already has.
It's almost freeing, the sudden feeling like she has absolutely nothing left to lose. Her mother, the father that raised her, Cassian, her reality for the last decade of her life. What else is there?
"She told me to trust the Force, that she'd be there. I was eight and terrified, I thought she meant in the cave or later, on whatever planet we fled to. I didn't realize she meant in whatever afterlife there might be." She keeps her voice carefully quiet so no one else can overhear, but Cassian is right there, her voice doesn't need to carry far. "Please, keep it."
