OKAY HAHAHA yin nezha, that fucker. for all his ideals of duty, and for everything he had done for it, whatever that was, he still cannot kill Rin. He chose her life, time and time again. Even if the very act of choosing her life over her death meant the death of thousands of thousands. yet he still chose it. he knows that she will bring, even unintentionally, death and chaos to everything, and that she did. yet he cannot still kill her.

It was Rin who had to carve the knife to her chest at the end.

I just stumbled upon this gem of a deleted scene.

If you need me I will be violently sobbing In my room for the next 4-5 business days. 😀

btw the only times rin and nezha kissed were when he blew air into her throat underwater to save her life, and when she blew fire into his to try to burn him to death underwater

“I love you,” [Rin] said. Kitay gave her a tired smile. “I know.”

another big parallel between rin and kitay is that they both thought they were so above sacrificing their principles for love. rin hated mai’rinnen tearza for killing herself and surrendering because she loved the red emperor. kitay desperately tried to be morally right even in the toughest circumstances and judged those who weren’t. but in the end they both betrayed their principles for each other. kitay couldn’t do the morally right thing and deprive rin of her power because he loved her too much. for someone who was so proud of his moral high ground, he was so loyal to her that he was ready to let her destroy the world. and even though she swore she would never be so weak to surrender and let her people be conquered, the mere thought of hurting kitay to reach her goal stopped her. it was her love for him that made her surrender. and they both kind of became the things they hated the most.

cannot stop thinking about the parallels between this scene in tdr between rin and nezha

and this scene in tbg between rin and kitay

rin tells nezha that he's hurting her and he stabs her anyway because duty was more important to him than rin ever could be while kitay tells rin that she's hurting him and that immediately pulls her out of the throes of madness because kitay is ultimately more important to her than her misguided attempt at liberation.

rin and kitay love each other so much that they can't even fathom the thought of willingly inflicting pain on the other while rin and nezha love each other so much that despite everything they still can't kill the other and yet it doesn't matter anyway because all they know how to do is hurt each other.

rin literally punched him in the face their first day at sinegard. their story started and ended in violence because history just moves in such vicious circles.
