Why this must be read:
This story deals with what is possibly the darkest moment in the Star Wars films: the moment in which Anakin murders the Jedi children. As he stands outside the Council Chambers before entering, he has a flashback to his one of his worst experiences in the war. The author is a master of writing PTSD!Anakin, and in reading this fic it becomes clear exactly how the war and the Jedi philosophy of non-attachment brought the naturally compassionate Anakin, once known as “the kindest boy in the galaxy,” to the point where he can detach himself from his emotions sufficiently to kill children. It's actually somewhat disturbing how easy it is to understand Anakin's mindset in this moment - but it goes to show that when put through horrific circumstances like war, anyone can turn into a monster.
