Caina <3

Sometimes I think about how Diana reading Caine's power level was probably the first time they held hands.

This is purely headcanon, but I think this was probably the moment Caine became truly infatuated with her.

Firstly, Diana's holding his hand. Caine's never held hands with a girl before. With his emotionally distant family, I'm not sure he's even been hugged by anyone. Wow. Big moment.

But more than that, she then goes on to tell him something that fuels his already oversized ego. He's a Four Bar. At this point, he's THE Four Bar. The most powerful. The most special. For a budding narcissist like Caine, Diana basically held his hand then told him he's the most important person in the world. Being a Four Bar forms a huge part of his self-perception in the series, and it drives some truly vile actions as he's determined not to share the glory with anyone.

So this moment, for Caine, may have been the best in his life up until that point. A egomaniacal high unmatched until he decides to declare himself king in Plague. Diana took his hand and changed his whole world. She told him what he had been longing to hear his whole life. You're special. You're important. You're better than everyone else. Shouldn't you be in charge of everyone else too, then? That makes sense, doesn't it? Poor Diana probably wasn't actually saying that, but that's what Caine heard anyway.

I'd hesitate to say Caine truly loved Diana until the events of Light, because when you love someone you don't treat them like Caine treated her. You don't threaten them, you don't hit them, you don't routinely lie to them, and you certainly don't abandon them when they become pregnant.

But in my mind, this is when his mostly innocent schoolboy crush turned into a full-on obsession.
