Winter laughed.
“It’s alright Hiro. If he doesn’t learn it from them, he’ll learn it from me. And if he doesn’t learn it from me, he’ll learn it from Elias, but it will be a lot more colorful in the language department.”

(Perfect! :))

Shiloh smirked her lips at Winter’s remark about her husband.

Estelle didn’t bother to hide her laughter. “See? He’ll learn it eventually!” She twirled around and used both arms to support Frost, so he didn’t fall. “And I’m the best around at arguing. Ask Shiloh!”

The Twi’lek rolled her eyes. “You say that like it’s something to be proud of!”

Winter laughed; and Elias had a smug look on his face.
“I guess Winter is right. Frost can’t be learning language like that until he’s older. So I gotta keep my many colors to myself.”
Winter nudged Elias in the ribs.
“If Frost starts to misbehave, put him in time out. However you need to make sure there is nothing close enough for him to levitate. He will throw it. And he has surprisingly good aim.”

Shiloh laughed at Elias’ remark. “I guess the same goes for me too, then.”

Estelle shot her wife a look before grinning back at Frost. “Okay, Win. But I’m used to it from that one.” She nodded her head toward Shiloh, and in response, the Twi’lek tossed an empty caf cup at her head, making Estelle duck with Frost in her arms. “See?”

Winter laughed at the thrown caf cup.
“Looks like you two have this handled. Enjoy that little mess for a little bit!”
Winter turned towards Elias.
“So what do you want to do with Hiro for four hours? Talk, try to break down some force walls, play a game of Holo chess?”

Hiro had started to feel his mind fade into an unconscious state, a cold breath leaving his body. It was a like and induced sleep comma

Winter and Elias watched as he slipped into his unconscious state.
Elias looked at Winter and spoke softly.
“Let’s try what our ancestors used to do. Let’s dream walk. Hiro can see us and hear us, but we are unable to interfere with anything that goes on in the dream. We become ghosts. For his sake, we become force ghosts before we really die. If I’m not mistaken, Estelle can probably do this, and with enough practice, I’m almost positive Shiloh can do it too. I know of Twi-Leks who can dream walk.”
Winter grabbed Hiro’s shoulder firmly, but softly.
“What are we waiting for? It’s worth a shot. All we have to do is clear our minds and focus, right?”
Elias nodded.
“Yes. Let’s go. What do we have to lose?”
As Winter and Elias gently touched Hiro, they began to focus, slipping into their own dream-like unconscious state. When they opened their eyes, they were in a vast expanse of white, with no one to be seen.
“Hey Elias, where are we? Are we in Hiro’s subconscious? It’s not mine, and it’s not yours.”
Elias in the best sense of the word, floated and looked around.
“I have no idea. But look. Our limbs are hazy. And we’re floating. This is the weirdest feeling.”

A scream echoed in the vastness before a suffocating darkness clouded over. A few feet over was hiro, Chains holding him down. His wrists were held down with thick bands of metal and his neck along with his waist was the same..
Hiro was crying as an invisible trauma rushed over in his head “MOM, DAD, PLEASE.. ANYBODY?!”

Off in the distance of the white space, a scream echoed.
Elias and Winter looked at each other.
“Guess we found Hiro. Poor boy has to be going through it.”
Winter and Elias moved their ghost limbs and headed towards the scream. What they say when they arrived was not an easy sight. And as they looked on at the prison Hiro was in, they could do nothing but watch. Winter moved to the front of Hiro.
“Hey kiddo. We can’t break you free, and we aren’t the easiest to see, but me and Elias are here. We’re dream walking. You’re not alone.”

Hiro looked up at winter, his tears only rushing down his face. “ their dead, they're dead because of me! “ the chains grew tighter which only made him struggle more.

Winter looked at Elias and he looked at her. Elias crouched down and looked at Hiro.
“Listen kid. No one is dead because of you. Coming from two people who came from a species who were wiped out by the empire, Winter and I carry tremendous guilt. Survivor’s guilt is a real thing. It’s not easy.”
Winter spoke next.
“Now you need to try and calm down. The more you struggle, the tighter your chains get. This is your mind. You control it. Break free. Have an awakening.”

“I- I can't.. I killed my family.. My force killed them! It was all my fault!” he said shakily, his body shaking heavily, whether with grief or fear. The empire.. They made me..”

Elias and Winter looked at each other. Winter spoke softly
“Believe us we know the feeling. I was the cause for my family being murdered when the Empire came in, And Estelle was the one who pretended to be me to save me. Elias, was the healer of his clan, and the Empire restrained him while everyone was executed. The past is hard to let go of. But letting it go is the only way to move forward. Show us what happened. As horrible as it sounds, reliving what caused you so much pain can bring closure.”
Elias nodded.
“That’s what we had to do in order to move on. That’s also why we had Frost. He’s a new beginning. The start of something that is a positive, even though he was born from something negative. We’ll be here. But we cannot interfere. Just know we won’t leave.”

Hiro lowered his head “okay..”

His surroundings changed, sounds came into play, and trauma came out of shadows. A small child was screaming and watched as two jedi is walked among the crowd, dragged by their necks.
One his father and the other his mother.

Elias kneeled down beside Hiro’s ear.
“Look up. Watch. Get every detail. After we get to Coruscant, we can head back here. For closure. And if we can, at least perform a proper ritual for you parents to become one with the Force if they haven’t already.”
Winter stood behind Hiro.
“You’re not alone. We will not leave you.”
