Horrible thing? [ He'll take Kylo's word on this, after all - he's had his own run ins with horrible things, thanks. Bodhi would still want Krennic to have some punishment for all that he had done, though. ]
A spirit that presides over the deaths of this planet.
[He thinks of describing its awful appearance as it showed itself to him, but his mind blanks so hard he decides it's not worth it. Bodhi may feel that equivalent of a thousand-yard stare briefly before Ren shakes himself out of it.]
It wants nothing to do with those of us from other places, and becomes... aggravated, if we force it to deal with us. [By killing each other.]
I'll take your word on that. [ Bodhi feels the weight of that stare, and he shudders. There's a trickle of fear that he quashes, because he doesn't want to think of that, now. ]
So it only comes out when we murder one another? I mean if it hates us so much, why not just let us... I dunno, let us deal with our problems ourselves?
I imagine it has something to do with... our souls. [Or whatever equivalent this place has?] That thing... if I'm right, it—
[How does he explain this theory of his? Especially to someone he's not sure is very spiritual.]
In the way we are born from and return to the Force, in our own galaxy, that spirit—manages that cycle here. Because we are not of this world, our... essence doesn't belong. And so as long as we don't get involved in that cycle, it doesn't care. It's only when we do that it is unhappy.
[He pauses, uncertainty coming through. He hadn't exactly been able to ask the thing any questions, and when he continues, the mental voice is almost quieter.]

I can't know for sure.
