"Today has us halfway through the code," Lana announced, smiling. On the board was written: Through strength I gain power.

"This one's a bit more concrete than we started with," she pointed out. "The strong gain power. It could be power in the Force, power in the government, power over yourself. So, let's discuss: is it true that the strong gain more power? What sort of strength should you start with, and what sort of power does it lead to? Is it something you should aim for?"

"I would say resilience empowers you to change a situation," Illyana said slowly. "I have seen many, many, 'strong' people break, shatter completely, against a stronger foe, or because they would not or cannot 'bend.'"

"I know at least one Darth that would agree with you there," Lana said. "Mind you, it took him dying to figure it out, but at least we have the benefit of his counsel now. I definitely think there are different kinds of strength, and adaptability is one."
