Oh, like an alias? That's...also the name of the brother you shared a life with.

Yeah. All that.

Your love for Ben motivates you to care for Obi-Wan. I don't think there's any harm in that, as long as you acknowledge and respect him as his own man. But I get how burdensome it can be to keep stuff from your family.

We'd said we were family before the spell happened. [His theory is that's why the spell put them together like that.]

But yes, it's extra motivation and there's...overlap between them, but they aren't the same. Ben didn't have rare training or abilities. He was a good man, and thoughtful, but his life wasn't wrapped up in duty to the greater good.

You've got a solid foundation. Now you're building a history together, here. With enough time, I think you'll create lots of new memories you wouldn't trade for all the gold in the world.

[Vyng certainly didn't think of Tuck or Billie as close friends — let alone family — in the beginning. But Obi-Wan and Ezra already have a solid, common thread between them.]

Try not to spread yourself too thin, especially now. If not for your own sake, then for your family's. Hard to stay present when your mind's running in 40 directions at once, you know?

..I hope so.

Yeah, I'll be careful about taking on new stuff, for the time being.
