“You’re not useless.”
Psyche isn’t sure how many times she had said those words to her husband over the years, but every time she grew more and more firm in her beliefs that she was speaking the truth.
There never was and never will be a time when Kaad is truly useless. Psyche knew that from the moment she met him and she will die knowing it to be true.
But the dark whisperings, the ones his parents and the Sith had planted in his mind, would always come back. No matter how many times she held his hand, smiled and supported him, he would forever doubt himself.
It broke her heart to know that she could never completely heal him… but she had grown to love and adore him for his humility and the moments where he was vulnerable. His darkest moments, the moments he was willing to share with her.
From the bottom of her heart, she know with a certainty that she would be saying the words again and again for years to come and when the time came and her days ended, she ensured there were messages and signs throughout their house and his workplace to remind him: You’re not useless.
