Here is where Obi-Wan suspects all the Hargreeves siblings are very similar, fearing the rejection and constant disappointment they received from their sorry excuse for a father. While Obi-Wan has come to accept the Jedi Order had its own issues and that there are many ways in which they failed their students, at least as younglings and Padawans, they were cared for and loved. No one was ever punished for having difficulty with meditation, no one was locked away to try and force them to overcome their fears, and Obi-Wan shakes his head as he sets his tea down on the table.

"I understand," he says. "But I can assure you, there is nothing you can do that will disappoint me. Meditation isn't something you succeed or fail at, it's a practice, something you incorporate into your life, your routine. There are days when it will be difficult, no matter how long you've been doing it."

He smiles a little and lifts his free hand to Klaus's face, cupping his jaw. "There are days when it's difficult for me, even after having practiced my entire life. And I can promise you, you'll never be locked anywhere. You'll never be trapped. It isn't something to force and if it's difficult or it's too much, we pull back. Centre ourselves. Try again. I will never force you into anything that makes you feel trapped, Klaus."
