Summary
Anakin hated being late. Sure, he might be tardy to council meetings and strategy sessions on occasion – miss a few numbers on his chrono – but that wasn’t late, not really. Late was what they put in front of a person’s name when you didn’t get there in time. (Anakin Skywalker rescues Supreme Chancellor Palpatine from bounty-hunters and then... things get complicated.)

Summary
There is an Umbaran poem that compares the mind to shafts of light reflected in a glass. New colours appear, shivering and momentary, as the mirror turns, and it is impossible to distinguish illumination from illusion. I ascended eighty-six graduations of honour only to find myself naked in a universe I never knew existed.
