KITE LOVES MITCHELL AND RIGHT NOW HE'S MORE WILLING TO LIKE . . . ALLOW HIMSELF TO BELIEVE IN HIM. Which was something that he wasn't allowing himself to do before out of fear of things going wrong again. He's mostly worried, because it's not like he thinks Mitchell would hurt someone willingly, but because he doesn't want Mitchell to go through that again. HE ALSO WANTS MITCHELL TO ACTUALLY GET THE ACTUAL ISSUE FROM BEFORE, but what happened with Lark and the last games have distracted him a lot from it. But yeah, Kite still adores Mitchell.
