[The one thing that he had needed to succeed in, he did -- and all it brought him was emotional ruin. No rewards, no peace, only more scrutiny, pain, and misery. He cannot listen to her sobs anymore. Holding them back does nothing with the bond reinvigorated, and the tears roll freely down his cheeks -- born, where she refuses to let them fall.
He leaves after that without much of a word. He returns sometime later with another meal and a fresh canteen, but he does not linger in the room. Her mere presence makes him want to drop to his knees and howl in agony -- so he can't stay for long. It would only be a matter of time before Armitage started asking questions, prodding at his weakness in hopes to take command of the First Order. He could not let that happen.
And so the pattern continues. Kylo Ren, it seems, isn't so bad at keeping a pet. It keeps him on a schedule, though he makes no overtures about attempting to bond with her anymore.
She is bound when he is not in the room and when he is sleeping, unable to trust that she won't simply try to kill herself or him when he dares not to look. When she starts to put on some weight, he brings new garb -- standard issue officer fare.]
Unless you prefer to be bare.
[He drops the hat unceremoniously on top with the rest. It is the most he's said to her in some time.]

It makes no difference to me.
