Steve's explanation - which is fuller, yes, but no less confusing - has Kilgrave reaching his hands up into his hair, locking his fingers behind his head.

"Shit." Shit is right. He's stuck here? With no Jessica, with no home and with absolutely no hope of ever really getting back to them? "Shit!"

He turns on his heel, looking for a door, a portal, whatever it was that brought him here. He has to get back. It's absolutely vital that he gets back where he belongs. "No, I don't -- Just - just stay exactly where you are!" And of course Steve will have to freeze in place, suddenly unable to move his feet.

Kilgrave draws his hands down his face. "No, no, sorry. I mean -- Ignore that. Just - Can you help me find a way back? I can't stay here."
