So says the guy who hasn't used the Force, not even once, since the kid turned up at his doorstep. Just now, he's perched on a nearby wall, a half-full teacup in one hand.

"You're on a direct line to end up like me someday, you realize," he continues conversationally. "Assuming no one tosses you in a lava pit first."

If that doesn't scare him into at least paying attention, nothing will. ...the idea of ending up like Break, not the lava pit.
