Hmm.....

While it's true that the vibe of clingy duo has changed after exile, that their relationship has irreversibly been. Damaged, I guess, yeah; I can't also help but think it's... still really poignant, just in a different way?

Like, yeah, I miss the dynamic they had during season 1. When nothing bad had happened between the two of them as a team, when they hadn't been turned against each other, when it was just them against the world, and it felt like they couldn't be separated. That closeness. That sureness. And i would say even... innocence. Unknowing of the worst pain to come.

But...

There's something beautiful about their current relationship, too.

Because they have been damaged. And that can't be undone. They had both turned their backs on each other, had their loud arguments and fights, had experienced the world as it is without each other, but the amazing thing is, they still stayed. They still got back to each other, after all of that. And they're messed up, and they're still repairing and building, and things are different now, but different doesn't necessarily have to mean bad.

Not if they decide it's not. Not if they decide their different together.

So they will roll with the kicks and the punches, and they will continue to stumble and make mistakes, but slowly, they're healing. And biggest thing is, they're progressing! Progressing from a duo of scared, inexperienced kids, to a whole family, with more things to hold onto, despite everything they have lost. Still sticking together. More individual, more shattered, hurting, but still trying.

And... I don't know. This is messy. But I just think, there is something so soft about two people chosing to not abandon their relationship, despite all the damages and changes and simply learning to... mend it all again. Become friends again. Because, in the end, they still care about each other too much not to. They have seen what the world is like without each other, and they decided they like the alternative better.

"Old partner in crime, I'm going to try to fall in love with you again", indeed.
