    Summary

    “Padawan Kenobi is damaged, but not destroyed.
    He is in pain, yes, and he is not well.
    In the span of two years, he has suffered a life-changing injury; shouldered more pain and physical discomfort than some of us have experienced in our many years; and carried an incredibly heavy grief. However, in spite of that pain and suffering, the child has not shown weakness; he has shown strength, and resilience.”

    “Well then, Master Dooku, what do you want this Council to do?”

    Dooku wants to offer him hope, just as his friend was able to do two years ago.

    (This is a story in which Obi-Wan Kenobi is taken as a padawan three times before he reaches 11 years old.
    First, by a childhood friend of Dooku's, who offers hope to an injured, discouraged youngling.
    Second, by Pong Krell, who adds more pain and suffering to the life of an already grieving and hurt little boy.
    Third, by Qui-Gon Jinn, who--although initially hesitant--feels led to guide, train, and protect the broken child he has grown to care for.)
