Summary
Din picks up the job for two reasons. He needs money instead of beskar, the client is offering money, and it’s a simple transportation job. Perhaps that should have been a flashing warning light in the back of his head. The amount of credits being offered doesn’t align with the apparent ease of the job. Din though, is three days into an empty purse so anything is worth it. The client approached him on Tatooine of all places, waving him off the streets under the Boonta Eve fireworks, and into a quiet alley that stank of piss. Their face had been covered but their height had been off putting, short compared to the gravely, heavily modulated voice that came from the being. Still, Din had listened to their request: the discreet transportation of one human and one droid, to the moon Umia so close to the Unknown Regions it might as well be in it. Din is not a taxi service and he had been planning on telling this person such, but then a mound of credits and a wired transaction code for the rest of the money were held out in worn leather gloves, and well. Din apparently is a taxi service.

Summary
Luke gets the message from the child in the early evening.
It’s spring on Yavin, and the wind smells like the glowing purple blossoms that cluster in the corners of old rooms and spring up through the pavement. The air is heavy with twilight, the orange-violet of the sky creeping its way down, filtering through the new-leafed boughs and down to where he’s sitting under a tree.
or Luke takes Grogu, but the sundering on the lightcruiser isn't an ending; it's a beginning.
