Obi-Wan Kenobi has left the Jedi Order to join with his friends in the revolution on Melida/Daan. He feels a connection with Cerasi that he has never felt before; in the Jedi Order, he never had close friends his age. But even now, something seems missing. Without Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan feels lost. And then the Young's rebellion begins to break apart. With parents fighting their children, the war takes on a new turn.
Meanwhile, at the Jedi Temple, Qui-Gon and Tahl are investigating a string of annoying thefts occurring right inside the temple!
"You seem uncomfortable," Qui-Gon began neutrally. "This is not an inquisition."
Bant nodded uneasily.
"But you can see that withe the thefts, we need to speak with all students."
Again, she nodded.
"Would you consent to have your room searched?"
Of-of course," Bant replied.
"Have you ever violated Temple security?"
"No," Bant said, her voice wobbling a bit.
Tahl leaned over to murmur in Qui-Gon's ear. "She is afraid of you."
Yes, Qui-Gon could feel it, too. Why should Bant be afraid?
"Why are you afraid?" he asked sternly.
Bant swallowed. "B-because you are Qui-Gon Jinn. You took Obi-Wan away. All he wanted was to be your Padawan, but a short while later, he left the Jedi. And I wonder..."
"What?" Qui-Gon asked.
"W-what you did to him," she whispered.
