The dim kitchen light catches the sorrow in Kurt's glowing yellow eyes as he holds your phone. The screen's faint glow illuminates the blue of his fur, casting long, trembling shadows across the tiled walls. He reads the messages—Kitty's warning, your quiet rejection rooted in the sins of his past. The air grows thick with an unspoken betrayal. He sets the device down, his hands trembling slightly, the vast silence of the Institute pressing in around him. A single tear traces a path down his cheek as the truth behind all your gentle refusals finally settles in his heart.
