[Leia either doesn't notice or doesn't care that Anakin appears to be choking himself through the force. His lack of a response does nothing for her anger, in fact, only making it worse. Not because she wants to hear or would believe any excuses from him, but because she expects him to say something. To give some indication that anything she just said sunk in.

She doesn't back down, and her gaze does not leave him. Nor does the temperature cool down any.]

I want you to leave me and my family alone. I want you as far away from us as physically possible here.

[there's anger, hatred, and even a tinge of fear lacing those words as she spits them out. She doesn't expect Anakin to care about what she wants regarding him, he never has before. But continuing to make her point known is worth it.]

There's no possible way for you to understand how even knowing your existence has destroyed everything. Any credibility I have and any trust others have in me to fairly rebuild the republic will vanish the instant this leaks back home. Because who would trust Darth Vader's daughter in any position of responsibility in the new government?

[she exhales an angry, shaky breath, in a futile attempt to calm herself down as she continues.]

I want you to leave. I never want to hear from you or see your face again. You've done enough.

[ He can sense her anger as well as her hate, but ultimately it's that bit of fear that gets to him the most and only has his throat close off further. His own daughter.... Fears him. Him and what he might do to the family that wasn't his.

Anakin wants to wince, but he can't. He opens his mouth again, lips moving in a futile attempt to speak and he knows his mechanical arm by his side is clenched into a tight fiat by now, making it impossible for him to breathe at all.

He can practically hear the noise of a respirator sounding steadily in his ears.

It's then that his vision begins to darken. Leia's words still ring in his head even as he crumbles to the floor, his consciousness slipping in response to his subconsciousness taking away his air.

And then everything goes black.

He has done enough. ]
