So apparently survivor's guilt was genetic too. Wonderful.

Part of the problem, he starts thinking, is that the whole issue in their conversation had started with Anakin taking exception to what he'd seen as a frivolous Alderaanian custom forced on Leia as a child (wearing hair extensions just for the look of it? He still thinks it's ridiculous). But, he guesses, she'd seen it as more of an attack on something she cherished and would never get back. The difference between them was that he'd done everything he could to divorce himself of the slave boy from Tatooine. There were no customs there that he'd wanted to hold on to, not really.

"I was thinking a moment ago that if Tatooine were blown up by someone, I'm not sure I'd shed any tears. I don't have the same attachment," woo for one attachment he doesn't have, "to my home planet that Leia does to Alderaan. It doesn't mean the same to me. Obviously, it's different for her. To be honest, I still think the hair thing is ridiculous, especially for little girls. But, I don't make a fuss about everything Padme does for Naboo," and in a way, quite a lot of their custom and ritual seemed similar, "so there's that. It's just that...what she told me? Felt more like the Organas at least in that instance cared more about appearances than about the little girl they were raising. My little girl," so there was some possessiveness to it. "I didn't like that. I don't."
