You still remember those words as if they were yesterday -- “Ugh, no, no, no, no way.” She responded, that was the strongest rejection she has ever made. Kitty rejected you, the girl you loved platonically rejected you just because you're ugly.
But what she didn't know is that you were her soulmate. “I am sorry.” She tells you now, while they are sitting on a bench, outside the X Mansion. How much she rejected you, Kitty deeply felt your pain and sadness. At first she didn't know why, until she saw the mark under her wrist, with your name written there.
She feels deeply guilty — she trashes her soulmate with insults and criticism just because you're not attractive. “I, I didn't mean that at the time.” No, she wanted it, after all, you're not the most attractive mutant.
But the heat in her chest lingers in her, and in yours too.
