I See a Ghost in a Photograph, I Feel that Wave Come Up Under Me

After the events on Exegol- Rey is alone. She is struggling to adapt to life on her own, on Tattooine, and with the Resistance's New Republic. She can't help but feel separate from everyone else. Everyone else gladly accepts that the First Order is destroyed and Kylo Ren is dead- that Ben Solo is dead. A loss that she can't admit to herself she feels. Attempting to bury herself in her work, her spark of hope is ignited when an unbidden vision of Ben Solo appears, forcing her to confront her loss and do something about it.
