Sol telling Osha "It's okay" because for him, it is. It's okay that Osha kills him in revenge for him murdering her mother. It's okay that she feels such anger and hatred toward him even if it destroys his core being. It's okay for Osha to be feeling like her world is burning down around her once more. It's okay for Osha to do what she needs, even if that means ending him. It's okay. He forgives her, and is giving her permission, because he could never make it okay for her. So yeah.
It's okay.

One thing I did appreciate is that The Acolyte did not hold back on that Osha went full dark side, that Sol's kyber crystal was crushed by her anger and hate to the point that it bled into a red saber. She straight up murdered someone who was not fighting back. She killed him because she was hurt and angry, not because he was a threat.
Osha's feelings of betrayal and rage were valid, her actions were not. She murdered an unarmed man who was not fighting back, who had no intention of fighting back, who literally forgave her as she choked the life out of him, and nothing of her actions were justified. She wasn't even regretful about it.
The dark side can be humanized to a degree, it always has been in Star Wars, that's nothing new. Anakin's everything ever, Maul's pain and desperation for a connection through an apprentice, Dooku's clinging to his care for people like Yaddle or Asajj, the dark side has never been about detached or unsympathetic anger. It's always come from a very human place, that's why the Jedi constantly caution that no one is beyond it.
But Osha embraced it here, she stepped over the line and murdered a defenseless man because of her rage, not because it was in any way justified as a killing, and the kyber crystal screamed and bled because of it. You don't get a red saber by being justified, you get it by crossing the line into an act of evil.
And props to The Acolyte for not shying away from that, as human as Osha is and will continue to be, her actions were over the line of evil.
