The brief hope kindled by seeing him still there, and seeing him wearing a reasonable, recognizable, human shape, is snuffed out very quickly. For just a brief moment, she thought that maybe they'd actually get somewhere - but no. Of course. This has to be just another way to mock and belittle her.
What if she left? Stormed out of this room. Stopped speaking to him. Treated him like he was dead as Mandrake. It'd be a lot less misery in her life, that's for sure. She'd have to endure a lot less insults. Her life would be quite a lot better if she just never spoke to him again.
And yet - she stays.
"Spirits aren't stupid," Kitty says, "and you're not stupid. So I don't know why it is you insist on being stupid." She shakes her head. "You know this isn't what I want."
