[ he squeezes one more time before letting go too, solidarity seeping through the gesture. he bows his head when luke speaks up again, it isn't like he's any keener on jess having to deal with all of this again. no one else would step up when it counted, and no one seems forthcoming even now to keep kilgrave away from the vulnerable. at least now that he's immune he can shield her from the minutia, but there's so much more he wishes he could protect her from. it isn't fair.
the question gets a snort, hard and free of mirth. in so many ways, this had become a home. some place comfortable despite its hellish qualities. but kevin thompson taking up space here had indeed made it hell, for jessica and for himself. and for a select few others. he thwaps luke on the arm companionably again, he was in the same position the other man was in. he gets it, maybe better than anyone else. it doesn't matter if they're very different people back home -- here it amounts to the same thing. ]
Now you're gettin' it. At least you missed Act One and Two. [ that's about the best he can offer the other man. there are things to be done, and kilgrave is his own problem now. they're officially too busy to worry about people who refuse to stay away from that idiot. ]
