There's bright red paint all over the outside of the Corellian Sanctuary, one of those rare buildings on Coruscant that stands on its own and just two levels high. Barit Saiy tries to ignore what the paint reads as he scrubs at it.

It makes him angry, it hurts somewhere deep inside where he's full-blooded Corellian even through three generations. Corellia is home and this is the resting of place of people who just couldn't get there, people like him. He hates this stupid planet.
A noise behind him makes him look up, and as he glances sideways he sees his dad and grandpa stop, too. There's a boy approaching, maybe five years younger than Barit, with red hair and brown robes. Maybe he's a Jedi or something.
Oh, Ben gets it now all right. He studies Barit and tries to tell himself that the older boy's just angry, that he's just saying things he doesn't really mean.
The Force confirms nothing.
He nods and pushes up to his feet, pretty sure he's done with his assignment here. He says goodbye to Barit, thanks him and the older men, then leaves to find an airtaxi home to the Senate district.

He thinks about Barit's words all the way.
