It's not really my place to mention the whole... logistics of the curse. But as for the attacking, well... he saw a vision of me dying, and rather than checking to see if it was true, which - obviously, it wasn't cause I was only struck by the saber cause I dodged in time, Maul just went straight for "try and kill first, find out if she's actually dead after."

I... actually need to call Skywalker-san about that now that I think about it and make sure he's okay... and not... dead... again.

We had a very long conversation about apologizing and sitting with the knowledge you may not be forgiven. He's never HAD to apologize before, so this is sort of a... one, two jump for him.
