A little bit of anger stirs at Anakin's reaction to the Emperor's betrayal. His expression clouds and he's once more back on Mustafar, tears marring his soot-stained cheeks, and for a moment, one heartless moment, he has the urge to tell this man standing before him exaclty how it's his fault; exaclty how far away from the Chosen One he really is.
But the moment passes, and he turns away to hide the tears that threaten, even as he fights to loosen the tension in his body. He has no idea what telling Anakin the full details will do to history. If Obi-Wan has no recollection of Anakin telling him a wild story of time-travel and a dystopian future where the Jedi are all but extinct, then maybe he isn't this time-line's Anakin? Again, what would telling this Anakin do to his history?
Softly, he chooses to say, "You were...conflicted." To say the least. "And no one saw it coming, my friend. Even when you returned to the Temple to tell Master Windu, no one wanted to believe it."
THAT WAS PAINFUL. I CAN'T EVEN.
