i think it's very underrated how kai's immediate hatred for adri and pearl is instant and powerful. he immediately hates pearl seeing how she treats cinder and this is his reaction to being forced to meet with them in scarlet "they were not entirely strangers. he'd seen the girl twice before, once at cinder's booth at the market, then again at the ball. this was cinder's stepsister. and the woman. the woman. his blood curdled with the memory of her, made worse by the almost bashful, girlish look she was giving him now. he had seen her at the ball too. when she'd been about to strike cinder for daring to attend in the first place."
