What's next?

Calm her anger (5 Wisdom)

{if Luminara = false}

Lana: Khm. Do you want to hear the truth? Alright, here it it. I have seen Barriss end her life, I tried to save her even...! And do you know why she decided to do that? Because she had lost her master recently...

Luminara: Yes, by accepting my sacrifice, you have scarred Barriss in a way, she couldn't be healed again!

Lana: It was you who asked me to do that! I'm not the one responsible!

Luminara: Of course you are! I asked you to take care of her in the future when I'm gone and this is how you do that?!

Lana: I was doing my best!

Luminara: By best you mean to let her kill herself?! You are a murderer and a lier, nothing else!

Lana: Padawans lose their masters in times of war, yet very few decide to throw their lives away for it. What do you think, why did Barriss do that? Because you have allowed her to form such a deep attachment, she couldn't survive its severing.

Luminara (doubtfully): Our attachment...? But I tried my best to keep our relation as formal as possible! I might have allowed too close from time to time but...

Lana: Maybe you made it appear formal, but she knew better. She discovered your past, your padawanhood was just as troublesome as hers. She respected you for becoming s fine Jedi with bad habits she too suffered from. You were her ideal Jedi and she wanted to be just like you were.

Luminara (collapsing onto her knees): Did she really think of me like that...? She never told me... I was so proud of her and her progress... I wanted her to be ready to accept my eventual departure from this life, I might not have had enough time to finish her training, but never expected her to react so badly...

Lana: Being that close to a master and losing them, could cripple most padawans... Had you not allowed her to be so close...

Luminara (crying): Could...? Could it be, that...? I, caused this...? Oh by the ****, what have I done...! I'm sorry Barris...! I'm so sorry...! Aaaaaarrrghh!

As she screams the blinding bright light flashes again you find yourself in a small, empty room on Korriban. The switch is in front of you, you pull it and leave the room.

{endif}

{if Luminara = true}

Lana: Khm. Do you want to hear the truth? Alright, here it it. I have seen Barriss end her life, I tried to save her even...! And do you know why she decided to do that? Because her master kept severely punishing her for the smallest of mistakes!

Luminara: That's a false accusation! See, she keeps telling you lies, even now!

Lana: I'm certain most of you have seen Barriss doing chores in inappropriate cloths, or worse, naked, like I am now! Who could be the one to give her these punishments, you may wonder. Her master!

Some in the crowd begin whispering among each other.

Luminara (doubtfully): I was only using a fair amount of strictness...!

Lana: You have driven your padawan into suicide!

Luminara: N-no, no, I wasn't...! It was your fault...!

Lana: She told me herself! You had her bound to a similar pillar, put a vibrator in her pussy, and had her humiliated in front of all the temple, for an hour!

Most are nodding in the crowd, as they too have witnessed it.

Luminara (confused, holding her head): Wait, no, I haven't... I was only...! Oh, my head...!

Lana: You had broken her spirit, her very soul! Her life was shattered by these harsh methods and she saw no way to escape it, but by ending her own life!

Luminara (collapsing onto her knees): No! That can't be true...! I would have never...! I was so proud of her progress... I wanted her only to be a better Jedi than I was...! To learn from her mistakes...! To learn from my mistakes...!

Lana: She did learn... She learned that her master, whom she loved and admired above all, was always ready to be so cruel to her, she just couldn't bear to imagine! She had hoped to find love and understanding with you, especially after discovering you used to be behaving the same way as she was. Yet all she got was pain and humiliation, little else! That's what broke her spirit, not the punishments themselves, she had suffered far worse during some of her missions, but she managed to overcome them. Yet, she wasn't ready to overcome this constant letdown.

Luminara (crying): Could...? Could it be, that...? I, did this...? Oh by the ****, what have I done...! I'm sorry Barris...! I'm so sorry...! Aaaaaarrrghh!

As she screams the blinding bright light flashes again you find yourself in a small, empty room on Korriban. The switch is in front of you, you pull it and leave the room.
