Kai is grieving over the loss of Zane between seasons 3 and 4. Much of his stubbornness and recklessness are due to his desire to help his loved ones, either directly or by becoming strong enough to defeat anyone who might threaten them with their plans. In turn, his friends and family work to balance out Kai's more extreme traits. But what happens when he is left alone with all the pain and guilt burning inside him?

“What - Oh, I see. Your eyes are waaay more dilated than they should be with this light in your face,” the cop’s demeanor changes into a more hostile stance, “Listen, buddy, you can’t stick needles in your arm and take naps in public parks. If you don’t start moving right now, I’m going to have to bring you in until you sober up.”

Alarm bells are ringing in Kai’s head but he’s still not in a critical thinking stage. What gets through is that light man is bad. He needs to leave, now. He needs to escape. Get away, now.
