[The fact that Kylo just let that slide instead of demanding answers, instead of using the Force on him probably speaks volumes on how different their dynamic is here. While Hux is not ready to accept all of his feelings, he can at least admit that their relationship is nowhere near the same while in Verens.

And Kylo bringing up his anger definitely helps him to focus on that, finally able to push away his sentiment so that he can yell at the idiot.]

Considering that your ineptitude as a leader led to the Resistance escaping once again, anger covers only a small percentage of my feelings for you!
