Sometimes even toys can lose their way. I know I did for a real long time. One of my owners wasn't a kid.
But you find people who can help you find your way back to who you're supposed to be. There's always folk like that, eventually. Even if it might take a while for them to find you.
I know how that can be. I lost over ten years of my life being in such a state.
I thought for a long time that I had lost all those in my life who were like that. But perhaps that is why I was brought here. To find such people again.
A box? That sounds like the worst sort of torture. You have my sympathies.
[Even Sidious had let his apprentice move around the facility on Mustafar as a child, despite all his distaste for doing so. He knew his small apprentice would wither and die if left in a single room all the time.]
Perhaps. But sometimes, for someone like me, happiness hurts.
I suppose I will simply have to see how long it will last this time.
[Much as he knows he shouldn't, Maul hopes that it might be longer than he thinks. He craves things like happiness and connections with people, despite not really knowing what to do with them once he has them.]

It took Woody showing up for me to learn that life could be so much better than either of those options.
I'm glad you've got a chance to find happiness here. You should grab it with both hands, if you do.

Doesn't that make it all the more worth it? The risk of it hurting?
