Aren't they cool ? 😎👍

Notice how the Hearts suit is not included? And neither is Caine?

Could this mean that Caine could have a connection to the Hearts suit?

The answer is yes. Let's talk about it.

Caine as Hearts.

Hearts, or cups in Tarot, are associated with love, feelings, relationships, connections, affection and care. Cups Tarot cards indicate that you are thinking with your heart rather than your head. Cups are also linked to creativity, romanticism, fantasy and imagination.

I find this really neat because, ironically enough, Caine is by far the one that's the most driven by emotion out of everyone in the show, despite being the one that's an AI. He cares a little too much about what others think. He tries a little too hard. He's sensitive. He's immature. Most of all, he wants to be loved. He's creative; he's the literal creator of everything in his reality. It fits.

As for Tarot, I did some digging and found something unrelated to cups that fits way too well.

The Emperor.

The emperor represents determination, ambition, leadership, structure and solid foundation. It portrays a powerful, guarded leader (both emotionally and physically) who has learned much about what it takes to rule, to establish power and authority and complete order for the benefit of his people. The Emperor rules with grit, strength and force; he is an authority figure who demands to be heard.

He wears a red robe, indicative of his power, passion, and energy for life. In one hand, he carries a scepter or an ankh, (the Egyptian symbol of life,) representing his reign and his right to rule, and in the other an orb, a symbol of the kingdom that he watches over.

The orb? Bubble. The scepter/anhk? His cain.

I'm sure I'm far from the first one to make this connection but STILL.

Caine would be a reversed Emperor.

(to quote labyrinthos.co and biddytarot.com directly because holy fuck)

"Lack of self-control and inability to handle situations can be represented by the Emperor on a personal level. When he is reversed, the structures, rules and systems that he creates are no longer working. His desire to inspire higher principles in his kingdom have turned to ruthlessness, tyranny and rigidity. He seeks to dominate, forgetting his call from the crown to do what is best for his people, fearing only for his loss of control and thus creating suffering."

"It could also be that you are playing the part of a weak ruler, hatching a plan to avoid the tasks that come with having responsibility."

"As it relates to your own feelings, the reversed Emperor indicates a struggle with personal power and direction. You may find yourself questioning your own decisions and feeling uncertain about what you truly want."

"You may seek a career where you can have greater flexibility and creativity in how you complete your work. You are sick of having to always work within the confines of a particular structure or way of doing things, and you want to break free from it."

Anyways so Caine is The Emperor you cannot tell me otherwise.

I would like to note that everyone is in pairs on their cards. Would Caine be alone on his? Or could his inverse be Abel? (I have nothing to go off of to support this except for the image below. Just planting a little idea because I think it would be cool.)
