[ The Luke speaking with him is the same one as the one Kylo know, he tells himself this, he knows it in his heart... But, at the same time, he's not the same. He's standing there refusing to give up, not backing down and running to hide from his family and the rest of the galaxy. And this hurts Kylo more than he's ready to admit. He knows the reasons Luke ran, knows that everything is ultimately his fault, but he did what he had to do - there wasn't another option. His family lied to him, left him when he needed them the most, when Snoke's voice was more than a whisper and the Dark Side was pulling at him stronger than ever.
When Luke asks what his name is - his real name - Kylo is startled, pulled from his thoughts. His real name is something he hasn't said aloud in years, something that was forbidden on board the Finalizer. The last person he heard say his name was his father shortly before he killed him. Kylo looks away from the screen, not wanting to look at Luke, but when he finally responds, he lifts his head, unable to hide the brokenness on his face. ]

[ You probably helped name me, he wants to say, but he leaves it at that. ]
