ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS: 2x08 - âKilling is a Cycleâ âł "We've lost so many. The anger. The sorrow. It's tiring. Gods, I know it's tiring. But you will never rest knowing that she's out there. Or maybe I underestimated you. Maybe you have the strength that I do not. To forgive. And trust in tomorrow. The decision is yours, commander."
Truly without sarcasm or snark or any of that, this is what we mean when people who love this character and her story are so irate/confused at the statement she never showed any remorse. Listen, Iâm a sap. I love the big romantic speech and emotional breakdown over the wrongs of the past. But that isnât who Caitlyn is, and it never has been. What we are seeing here is that her remorse and shame and self-hate are so strong that who does her armor finally crack in front of? Jinx. Just⌠really think about that a moment. It makes sense that she shows real vulnerability in front of Vi, they are in love. But think how much bad blood is between Caitlyn and Jinx, and this is when Caitlynâs armor breaks even the smallest amount. The woman who killed her mother, who started her down this path, she is who Caitlyn admits her self-hate to. I can only speak for my own opinion of course, but I suspect âremorseâ does not even begin to cover what Caitlyn is feeling.
