Kevin wraps both arms around Xie, holding him close as if trying to keep him warm, and rests his head against his.
He lets Xie admire the view with his own eyes, and then:
"Look."
Kevin's view of the city is as much feeling as visual, and he's not sure how much of that comes through, even with empathy. A maelstrom of emotion and meaning and importance, swirling up from millions and millions of smaller meanings and emotions and fears. The city glows once with its own light, and again with this feeling of power.
He turns his head slightly, towards a specific sight in the sky. A faint image, which as Kevin focuses on it, gets more intense, of spinning spitfires and Sopwith Camels and Lockheed Martins; the rattle of gunfire and the soft fall of parachute silk.
He presses his lips to the side of Xie's head as he shares the view.
