Summary
An exploration of Cody's childhood and how he tries to overcome it. Cody is learning how to love in spite of Jango and he will be a better parent than Jango. Parallels are drawn between his childhood and his romantic relationship. Obi Wan isn't a bad person but he isn't able to overcome his past like Cody is and it affects those around him.
'Cody knows the cost well, because Cody, had been raised by a man who never quite took an eye away from his rear view mirror and in spite of his many efforts, that's the kind of raising you can't ever quite leave behind.
No matter how far he walked, it dragged behind him all the same. A curling suspicion born not from Cody himself and so never quite his to touch or, to drop in pursuit of something better fitting. Placed there by some other hand, it had never quite sat at home within Cody and yet, remained there all the same. Clinging to his very shadow but always just out of his grasp.''Jango feared loss and it made him cruel. It made him avoid the one thing he might have had to give. Cody was raised by an absence. A shape where a man might once have been. It made Cody's life hard, it made his life difficult. He inherited that fear and it haunts him to this day.'
