[ They're both lonely, tired and have too much in common for their own good. Rey should be turning to Poe, talking to him about her feelings but he isn't from the same time point as her. She didn't want to make him worry over Finn or telling him that Han died. So she's turning to Cisco... He's done enough for her already and...we're they really going to go this deep?]
The first time I trusted someone, thought they were my friends was when I was younger. I found a ship that could be salvaged, and started working on it. Thought if I could get it back in flying order, I'd have enough portions--food, to last for a few weeks. Two other scavengers found out what I was doing and we agreed to work together.
When it was time to turn it in, I flew it to Niima outpost, and once I stepped off, they took off with the ship. I had nothing left to show for my hard work or anything to trade for portions. .
[ Cisco reads her story, heart breaking for this younger Rey, who was just trying to get by (who had evidently been fending for herself for a lot of her life), and who was so thoroughly punished for a moment of carelessness and trust. ]
that's terrible, that they did that to you. you were all in a bad situation, you should've been able to work together and rely on each other and all benefit people can be selfish, and stupid, and cruel.

But then, you don't want to be like them. You don't want to be cruel, you don't want to be selfish.
And I feel like i'm rambling now. Sorry.

[ He figures 'preaching to the choir' might not translate well, either. ]
i think all you can do is... try your best
and don't give up on the possibility that some people really are good

Haven't given up, but it's still a barrier to over come.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be texting you. You're really too nice to be real..
I meant that as a compliment!

[ There is a brief pause in his replies, as Eddie finally gets back, before Cisco shoots off a few last quick texts ]
