[ Distance, he's found, dulls the senses. The connection is weaker in some ways. Or maybe just quieter, with having so much space between them. As he reaches for Ren, he's met with the easily identified static of rage, mind a jumble. It's as though he's hearing it all underwater.
But as Ren bridges the gap, reaches out a mental hand to pull him closer, the weight of it all comes crashing down at once. Like breaking to the surface, only to be met with a cacophony. Ren's anguish sears through like fire in his veins, like what he imagined being swallowed up by Starkiller would feel like. Through the daze and shock, he thinks maybe he didn't ever get off the planet and it's all being played in fast forward.
Hux's knee jerk reaction is to pull away, as though he's set a hand on a still heated ship thruster. The emotional pull is too strong, curled around his mind, vice-like. ]
