The Dark vanishes, as if it was never there, and Ibani lets go of the power holding Acina.
"Capital, I'm so glad we could resolve this little misunderstanding, aren't you?"
"Many things have been made clear, yes," Acina replies. The fear is there still, and the hatred, but Acina has damped it down, is regaining control of herself. "Since the situation seems to have been resolved, I shall leave matters in your capable hands."
Ibani bows slightly. "As you wish, Empress Acina." She does not take her eyes off of Acina until the Empress' shuttle is gone.
Then, she lets the illusion covering her armor go, takes off her helmet. She can just be Ibani now, for whatever that's worth.
She can't quite conceal her heartache from Ben she speaks. "I am sorry you had to see the monster Korriban made of me, Ben. For several reasons."
