[The instant the words fall from Ren's lips, Ben knows what is coming. His grip falls away from his shoulders and he jumps back as the saber swings, but there isn't enough time to miss the blade - and a wound opens from shoulder to abdomen, leaving him standing shell-shocked and bleeding.
This is as close as he's ever come to getting through for certain, if he's near enough for this agony. The wound burns, stings, throbs...but the pain settling in his chest and in his head is much worse. This is going to have to be a fight, like it or not, and any physical damage is actually superficial in the end.
The fight is all in his head, after all.
Ben grits his teeth, hand shooting outward to try and catch the next strike with the Force. Maybe, maybe if he's strong enough to touch him, he's not completely helpless this time.

He has to try.
He can't give up now.]
