Din checks the ship one last time, making sure the life support systems and that the weapons are all working properly. He’s going to make sure he’s not caught with his pants down if they get attacked in the middle of the night.

After that is done, he goes to lie down with his son, taking off most of the armor to exchange it for warm clothes. He gets into the bed and looks down at the little alien that he’s come to view as his own family and his heart swells with tenderness. He runs a hand over the big ears one more time and whispers: “I love you. Good night.” Then the lights are turned out and he falls asleep quickly hearing the heartbeat of his son and knowing the little form is safe next to him.
