I can’t remember whether it’s Jacen, or the woman, who goes on to say “you might sit with it, and let it know that it’s not alone, and do what you can to comfort it.”
“‘And also, perhaps,’ [the woman] went on, ‘you might stop by from time to time, to let the struggling, desperate, suffering creature know that it is not alone. That someone cares. That its pain is in the service of its destiny.’”
It’s the woman.
And also I guess I’d like to register another weird coincidence, Traitor was also one of my favourite stories growing up. I disagree with you about the second half of the book being forgettable though. Ganner Rhysode also felt important.
