The view of the outside world from Ben's living room window was like a camera lens focused on a postcard landscape.
Kai absently twiddled locks of her black hair through her fingers as she leaned against the window stool and watched, allowing for a moment to let her problems fall from her mind like hairpins.
Her biggest problem - if one were to call it that - was difficult to put into words, but would perhaps be best exemplified in "The Most Dangerous Game Show."
She was originally going to be brought back in Ultimate Alien, as part of a story arc so vast and complex that it would've made "BioShock: Infinite" look like a nursery rhyme.
But because of the potential size and scale of the arc, which Kai estimated would've lasted the better part of a whole season, it was almost entirely cut out.
The writers then re-purposed parts of the episodes in that arc for Omniverse as a sort of consolation to Kai.
Unfortunately, what ended up in Omniverse did not impress her.
In fact, she gave the show's writers so much crap about it, they made her the winner of "The Most Dangerous Game Show" just to appease her.
That didn't work, as she found the episode's premise incredibly demeaning.
So much so that she ad-libbed the bit about being a "damsel in distress" and basically dared the crew to edit it out, but because the crew didn't want to keep putting up with Kai's admittedly valid complaints, they let her keep the line.
In a ridiculous competition where the female participants had to win the first round by not talking, Kai won the whole competition, in large part because she (along with plenty of other women) spoke her mind.
Kai thought about that, as if her reflection in the window was reminding her, and chuckled softly when she realized the irony.
