At her response, he is already shaking his head. He cannot help but feel guilty. If he could only have done what she asked, he would not be... this. Not to mention being inferior to this Cu as well. He sighs internally but speaks outwardly with passion and intent.

"You've done nothing wrong. You told me what the rules were. I am sorry that I could not hold to our agreement. And no matter what else, I hold you dear, Kenzi. Know that. I will not ask for what you cannot or will not give, but I will always be here for you."

And he leans in, hesitantly, and presses a gentle kiss to her cheek, hugging her once, unsure if more was wise or welcome.

He is not looking to find anyone else. If he could not keep her happy, what chance would someone with more expectations have? No, better that he stop this experiment with humanity here and now.
