[It isn't the first person he's watched die, and there's a grim knowledge in the experience that can't be learned any other way. Their breathing changes, takes on a new rhythm in the hours before, and in the Force he can feel their fear. Their anger, frustration. Confusion. Until that too starts to wane- and even when there is no acceptance, eventually the effort is just too much.
Anakin quietly sits vigil. He doesn't know this person and now never will, so he holds the man's hand instead of searching for words. And as his breathing changes, in those last moments- there's a strange light. Little particles that seem to come... come out of him at the very end.
There isn't much time left to him after that. He carefully withdraws his hand, looking at the dead man one last time before he's- summoned. The sight visibly startles him in its newness, but instinct urges him into motion. Anakin follows the shadow soldier as quickly as it can go, reaching outward into the living force to search for danger as he rounds a corner. And is relieved to find Jinwoo there, unharmed. The line of his shoulders softens as he jogs forward, closes the distance.] What happened? Are you alright?
