After killing Snoke and becoming Supreme Leader, Kylo's mental state deteriorates. An old religious order offers him one of their women as a spiritual counselor, hoping she can influence him politically. She is soft-spoken, patient and apparently incapable of judging anyone. Kylo initially mocks her faith but begins confessing things to her because she never reacts with horror. Eventually he refuses to make major decisions without seeing her first. The First Order believes she is manipulating him. The Resistance thinks she is his prisoner. She insists she is neither. The unsettling question becomes whether Kylo is keeping her captive—or whether she has constructed the perfect cage around him.
