Kanan... facepalms for reasons unrelated to knighting Ezra Bridger.
Obi-wan Kenobi alive and well on Tatooine, and his apprentice knew about it while he was alive. Kanan could have used Obi-wan's guidance! Kanan could have! It could have changed so many things, so many things for him. Yes, everything went how the Force willed it. The Force didn't will Ezra to keep his lips sealed and keep Kanan and Obi-wan apart.
Kanan had so many questions. They're useless here.
"Ezra," Kanan says the way he's said it hundreds of times before, sometimes teasing, sometimes serious, always exasperated. "I would have gone to Tatooine. I wouldn't have dragged him off into the war. I—
"Why did you make that decision for me? Do you understand—"
Kanan stops talking. He nearly gets up to pace, but they're in a tea house. He takes a sip of tea but doesn't taste it. Thousands of moments overlap, of Kanan Jarrus across the years opening the Jedi holocron to Obi-wan Kenobi's message, broadcast the way Caleb had asked if it were possible. Wanting answers. Wanting anything.
It had been on the beach. Kanan picks it out of his bag, places the holocon on the table, and opens it with the Force. It plays the message again.
