Kai DeLaney's Links
“I owe her my life, and I love her for it. She not only literally brought me back to life, but she set me on track to being someone my parents would actually be proud of. I truly hope I can pay my life debts to her somehow.”
"Goodness, where do I start? Kai certainly is an interesting man, and his life isn't one I can say I envy. He's done some terrible things, but he's also a very good case of redemption. He doesn't give himself a lot of credit, but I've seen how hard he's worked to be better and it's inspiring. I hope one day he can reach a point he's happy with and that he'll finally get a happy ending."
“He’s the one with Leslie, right? He seems alright enough. Makes good coffee, though it can be uncomfortable sometimes visiting the shop. He at least seems like a chill guy and a good dad.”
"An absolute dumbass, but he's a dumbass that's great to shit talk with. Oh, and now that he's gotten rid of that stupid face tattoo maybe I'll go into public with him (unlikely)."
Look. I dont hate the guy, but could he just…not exist? Marlene needs someone more stable than a ‘himbo’. Like, sure, what I’ve heard, he’s fine enough, okay. But that’s fine enough as friends. Neither of them are going to find much growth and success if they’re busy acting like children. Mar needs someone to keep her in line. And no, I’m not saying this as a jealous ex. I’m a concerned friend. If Marlene weren’t involved, fuck, maybe we’d be friends.”
"Where do I even start with Kai? There's so much I could say about his past and his present, but all of it just loops back to his relationship with Marlene. I hate how he treated her, and I hate the trauma he caused her more than anything in the world. You'd think with that I'd hate him, but...I don't. Seeing him working so hard to change and knowing what he's gone through has made it almost impossible to feel anything but just a mix of sympathy and disappointment towards him. If only he would have just not let peer pressure get to him. He could have been such a good person, but he let drugs and shitty people turn him terrible. Now that he's away from all that, he seems so much better, but the damage has already been done to the people around him. He's just a tragic situation, really, but as long as he doesn't cause any more problems to Marlene, I'll let him be tragic peacefully."
