Kit is Willem’s agent. When Willem starts to give up film roles to stay home and care for Jude, Kit remarks that such behavior would be understandable if Willem were caring for a sick child or spouse, but it seems extreme to hurt his career to care for a friend. Willem rejects Kit’s notion that friendship is less important than family or romantic partners—but Kit’s remark also makes him consider explicitly for the first time whether he might be interested in Jude romantically.
