[With Qui-Gon's injury, Ezra doesn't dare lean in for the hug he wants. His father's hand on his cheek is the closest he can get, so Ezra leans into that instead, closing his eyes for a moment to try to keep the tears back that keep threatening to well up. Emotion, yet peace, he knows, he knows, but it's so hard when he'd been so scared.
