"I can't just run away from my problems like that."
Hey, speak for yourself, kiddo, running away from his problems is what Kit does best. (Or worst, depending on which way you decide to slice it. He did end up dead.)
He drops the cigarette to the ground and puts out the burning ember with the toe of his boot. Easier to look at the ashen remains of it than the earnest hope in Konoe's expression; poor kid. "I don't think so, salroka," he admits, grimacing. "I think if the folks at Aisling Tower could figure that out, there'd be far fewer Dreamfolk here than there are. The way it looks to me is we're all here until the Dreaming decides it's done with us."
A moment's hesitation, before he says a little more quietly, "For what it's worth, I'm sorry. I know what it's like, to want to fix something so badly, even when you can't."
