If the two siths did leave something behind in the temple, they probably wouldn’t have placed it in plain sight at Darth Vader’s tomb, for any wondering scavenger or obsessed Force user to find. Most likely they would’ve hidden it, and Kylo was holding on to this hope as he allowed himself to be guided by this Force.
“Normally I would be able to.” That’s how he knew the temple, and the Valley of the Dark Lords, hid many secrets from thousands of years of training by the fiercest sith lords. “But I can’t in here. Everything is different.” More powerful, he realized. Just as his mind urged him to turn around and forget everything, he wanted to push forward.
The corridor gave way to a much smaller room that was frustratingly empty at first glance. But there it was, that Force that pulled at him was even greater in the room. Something was in there, but hidden from view.
He glanced along the walls, which were as rocky and rough as the surface of the planet. “There is something in this room.” Kylo stepped closer to one of the walls to see if there was a clue of any kind to indicate some sort of latch or door.
Could they have left something behind for safekeeping, with full intention of coming back for it? With the now dead tuk’atas guarding the temple, it was a secure and desolate place with stories that frightened other people.

Lavinia’s hand remained near her blaster, but the feigned confusion melted away. Her jaw tense when her parents’ names were spoken, and already she mentally prepared several escape routes to get back to the hangar and off the ship before anyone was alerted.
Kos’tel’lanni spoke further, and as soon as she urged the woman to take a moment, her hands grasped the back of the nearest chair, the dress laid forgotten on the seat of the same chair. Her heart pounded in her chest, and she struggled to regulate her breathing. Tears threatened to escape, but she blinked them back as she attempted to pull herself back together.
Now was not the time to panic and go into hysterics.
“What do you want?” She didn’t move from her position, and her gaze focused on nothing in particular. “Why didn’t you immediately turn me over?” The Chiss must want something from her in return for her silence. That was the only explanation Lavinia could think of in the moment.
