I’m real. [Jyn has always had that self assurance about her, even in the darkest of times. Whatever may or may not be happening, that’s who she is— a beacon in the dark before she ever knew she was capable of it.
But he asks her what she remembers, and it pulls her out of her own hope.]
I was on a prison planet—- well, trying to escape one. [Before they found out who she was. It wasn’t safe for her in a prison for a number of reasons, her gender and surname chief among them. It only solidifies that she isn’t good though. That there’s dozens of women in that hall that he can go back to that would gladly spend the night with him that are better than her, less broken. She also doesn’t go into more detail, simply because she knows there’s people from planets and planet systems she’s never heard of. There’s no way he’s from her galaxy, that they’re intrinsically tied together.]
