Still Not Over that Kai guy

Ummm, But I *want* to see the other 300 pages!!! Come on, I can take it!

Kai was reunited with and then lost his Brunnis-2 GF tragically during the doomed defense of his homeland. On the heels of that rekindled reunion and the emotion that goes with it, he also lost everyone else he ever cared about and indeed even the planet of his birth. Oh and he became dead and was violated as a person during the transformation from dead Brunnen-g to divine assassin.

It is possible that he might…. Need a bit of time to work this all out and do the grief acceptance thing. None of which would be made any easier by his becoming a Brunnen-g Popsicle every time he turned around. After all time stops for you when you are flash frozen But then just when he is starting to warm up to Xev…. She dies tragically, saving him. Sorrow and regret, two mental scars for the price of one. You must admit that in Kai’s experience, emotional closeness has not been rewarded in a very, very long time…

On the other hand Zev and Xev were not exactly Rocket Surgeons. After all Tina did talk a good game, and I imagine that a society of immortal beings put a high value on intelligence… Since you would not want to spend eternity partnered with someone who’s idea of literature was ‘People Magazine’.
