Kai stops in his tracks when Faith tells him she doesn't want to hear anymore about why he was leaving. It was hard for him, he didn't really know how to do this, given that he had never broken up with anyone before in his life. Faith was the only person he had ever been in a serious relationship with, so it was as new to him as everything they had gone through together in the past year. After he asks her how they'll go about making it look like Faith broke up with him, Kai just lays there and watches Faith think about everything. He knew this was what she did, the whole PR side of music, but he had never asked her to do it for him, and he felt quite embarrassed that she was having to bring her work into this and look at saving her reputation by spinning their break up, but he understood why she would want to. He nods when she speaks about what they should say. "And if anyone should ask me why we split up? What do I tell them then?" he asks before nodding again at her request. "Of course. You don't need to tell me to say that you weren't involved in the stabbing, I know that much," he says softly. When she explains the timeline to him, he thinks it over and nods. He had planned to move to Vegas when he got out of the hospital to move with Honor, so he realised he would need to be a bit low profile with that for a while, which he conceded to Faith. "Yeah...yeah, I guess that's fine. We can lay low for a month or so," he tells her quietly. "I can't imagine I'll be able to go anywhere really anyway. And I'll tell....I'll ask Honor not to say anything publicly about it as well. I'm sure she'll understand why. And don't be angry or embarrassed at yourself, Faith, I've been a sneaky bastard and I've done this to you while I convinced you that everything was fine. It's not your fault that you believed me while I was cheating. But don't worry, I won't let anyone know what happened. I promise you that much. I'll keep it quiet, what I've been up to." Kai had never seen Faith be quite so officious before, and it was really unlike the Faith he knew. She seemed much much colder towards him, but Kai guessed he deserved that much. He couldn't blame her for wanting to put her reputation above anything else at the moment, and he knew he was going to come out of it all looking like the bad guy anyway, which he had prepared himself for when he first decided he wanted to be with Honor. At her threat, Kai wasn't sure if she was being serious or not, but he understood what she meant, and he realised at that moment how serious she was. "I promise no one will know for a month. We'll keep our heads down and keep to ourselves. I respect you too much to just ignore your wishes, love." When she eventually moves towards the door, Kai feels himself get sad again. This was what he wanted, to be with Honor, more than anything, but it didn't mean that the end of his first real relationship hurt any less. He starts to cry again when she said she wanted him to be happy. "Thank you. And Faith...you'll find someone much better. You'll find someone who'll treat you far better than I ever have done....you'll find them," he says quietly. When she physically leaves the room, he starts to sob again when he realises he'll never see her again. As much as he knew he wanted to move on with Honor, it hurt him immensely to know he'd never see Faith again. "Be happy, Faith. You deserve it more than anyone," he says through his tears.
