With Darien having to t leave again, closing or moving the Valentine gate was the most important task if they could make it so the shadow clan couldn't take advantage. The question of where was left to the clan's own business. So one of their members was to be on the other side and move it to an unknown place. They would open it at another time but at least a week later.
Kurt and Layla actually had no business at all on the other continent. Kurt had stepped through the gate and been there for a second but other than that it always seemed so distant to him anyway.
Kurt was more focused on watching Layla. He originally thought he wouldn't tell her but realistically she was smart enough to notice that Kurt could see it if he was watching.
Looking at the rock structure close Kurt saw the shattered crystal formation. Examining would tell him all the pieces were there. And soon he would see it.
"So you can see it now?" said Layla.
"Yes."
