[Saying those words finally dislodged something that had been stuck in Maul's hearts for a long time now. It had felt for years like his hearts were being squeezed tight, constricted by grief, guilt, and loss. For the first time, he finally felt like he'd taken the first step in the process of healing from the trauma that had resulted from losing his family.

He'd had so many regrets after Savage had died, not telling him all that he should have. Now he finally had that chance. Being able to finally get past his own emotionally stunted nature and tell his little brother he loved him felt good. Despite the mourning process he'd just gone through, he now felt a weight lifted off his shoulders that had been weighing him down for years.

He audibly sniffled for one last moment, savoring the words as Savage said them back. He'd known, of course, for a long time that his brother loved him. But there really was a difference between knowing something implicitly and having it said out loud.]

Having my memories put on display like this was hard. But.....I think I can finally begin to move on from being stuck in that moment.

[Maul's grief had been in a complicated form, keeping him frozen in time and unable to begin the process to move past it. No longer.]
