Jyn thought she remembered having seen a scar there, though it had been so long now that she wasn't sure if that was a product of her imagination and this new fact she had been given. That, too, made her somewhat uneasy, though less so than a moment before. She just didn't like not being certain of or able to trust her own memory. After years, though, of course some details were bound to have blurred around the edges, while others were as vivid as if they'd never been separated.
The important thing now was that, whether she actually recalled having seen any sign of that wound or not, the accompanying story was a new one. It was a tidy segue into a fact she could give, too, one that she knew wouldn't have been included in any Alliance dossier on her.
"The last words my mother said to me were 'Trust the Force,'" she replied, fingers idly brushing the cord at her neck. The kyber crystal that hung from it sat below her shirt; tied beside it was the ring she had been given the day she got married, as was custom here. "She believed in all of that. I never really did. Right after she said it, she went and got herself killed for no good reason, so."
