#i do wish wed gone a bit more serious

Porsche talking about how he forgot the car accident with his parents and how that lack of memory directly relates to how he’s coping with being handcuffed to Kinn and Kinn, frankly, understanding that better than Porsche himself because Porsche is so busy trying to forget the bad things and Kinn is still so focused on the knowledge of what he did… it’s a juxtaposition of someone trying to cope with trauma and someone trying to reconcile his own moral code.

Porsche pushes back the memories and emerges with a smile and a fist bump and nonchalance because that’s all he has if he wants to survive but Kinn has all the energy in the world to focus on what he did because he’s the one who did it, he doesn’t need to forget and he cannot forget.

And then, when Kinn sends Porsche away, it’s a final acceptance on his part that no matter how much Porsche forgives him in that moment and in that place, he cannot forgive himself. Because he knows Porsche is forgiving him the same way he forgot his parents.

That’s not what Kinn wants. That’s not what Kinn needs. He needs Porsche to be happy. And when he sends him away he knows he’s giving him a chance that he’d never have otherwise.
