The summary is an exerpt from the story text that reads:
Kylo reaches out with a shaking hand and brushes his fingertips across Hux’s sternum. He’s shocked. Amazed at what he’s done -- the cost of it all but forgotten when he touches Hux’s warm skin. He’s done this. Kylo, the Master of Ren, Supreme Leader of the First Order. The path he must follow from here to Exegol, to Palpatine, to freedom seems entirely clear now. Like it has been lit by millions of tiny, bioluminescent creatures that will shepherd him toward the end of it.
