There are so many things left unspoken if only because he never felt he could tell Obi-Wan these things without it being brushed off or being chastised for it. He understands that line of thinking only stems from his own insecurities growing up in the temple, but at this point, it’s so deeply seeded that it will be hard to uproot. Especially after everything with Rako Hardeen. Something he can’t put against his Master now, but he can’t exactly forget.
To not be trusted with something like that and to use his attachments and emotions against him to make things seem authentic? Well, there were quite a few things in those years after being knighted that had fractured his belief in the Jedi.
Anakin shifts in place, uncomfortable under the scrutiny and looks away. The hands on his shoulders suddenly feel too heavy.
“Can’t we talk about something else? I’m too tired for this.” After the month being trapped in that place, only half-connected to the Force and being unable to fully trust his own abilities, Anakin has to admit he’s running on energy he doesn’t really have. It’s a small blessing that Obi-Wan can’t use the Force yet, because he knows it would only give him away. He doesn’t have the energy to shield himself.
