WORD twin, was it going to be easy? NO Jinx was severely mentally ill and suicidal last time they met, he knows this, that's precisely why he goes looking for her, THAT'S why the monkeys he carved himself in the machine are there, it's Powders symbol aswell sure, but knowing how generous and kind and full of love Jinx would've been changes his perspective, he remembers she was once his best friend for a reason, she IS still a person, she is still capable of this things because is part of her and the look they shared on the bridge is only further proof she's still capable of humanity, her monkey symbol that no doubt grew to be horrifying for him over the years becomes one he carves out of his own hands to put on a machine they built together in a universe where they were never forced apart, where she didn't lose everything along with her mind, and they're together because of course they are, they're each others person, the same kindness that she shows him in a universe where she got to love him so much is one he wants to give her back, the good in herself, the good in him and the good between them, it isn't all lost if they got to be happy elsewhere why not here and now? if he loves her in another world why not in this one? It would've been so simple for Ekko to come to the easy and sad conclusion that she was utterly gone as Jinx because she was the opposite of Powder, but no, they become one, Powder is also the opposite of Jinx, Jinx is everything Powder could've and would've been, Powder is capable of evil, Jinx is capable of good, they're just his best friend, he doesn't need to separate them to love her, in another life shiny and kind Powder slapped him and became the daughter of a man who ruined their lives, in another life Jinx forgave him for blaming her of her own sister's death and helped him build a time machine, supported all his projects and him, danced with him, layed her head on his shoulder, held his cheek like he was the most precious person and kissed him like he was. What they could be is part of what they are, the worst and the best are all things they would've become in a different circumstance, isn't that what the bridge scene was about? for better or for worse, a childhood game they both remembered, a happy memory shared lives on to become a death sentence for one of them, but is because it was so affectionate once that it hurts so much and lives on their relationship even after it becomes twisted, what is grief if not love persevering, between love and hate there's only one step, but they're still right next to each other in the same path.
