Kylo feels much the same. He's used to Vader being something mostly in his own mind, a memory cobbled together from stories and vids and occasional visions. Him being alive and here with him is a reality difficult to grasp.
"I'm 30. I was born on Chandrila." Those are easy questions, at least, and enough to provide a starting place. There's so much to tell. So much that has to do with the entire state of the galaxy as much as his own place in it, because there's never been a moment those two things haven't been somehow intertwined.
"The Empire had fallen, and my parents were trying to rebuild order in the galaxy from nothing. I didn't see much of them, a lot of the time." He's aware that they cared about him. He won't deny that. But that doesn't stop him from feeling that they cared about their optimistic vision for the galaxy more. "They sent me to train with my uncle when I was ten."
