Spoilers for act 3 of season 2 of arcane:
The ending, the weird question, and the detective of it all:
Okay, so, Jinx is alive. She hopped skipped and jumped away from the explosion and got on that airship. Because she realized that Vi was very bad at letting go of things, and that Vi will always sacrifice herself trying to save the people she loved
Caitlyn also knows all of these things. She knows how quick Jinx can move. She would know if there was a body or not (my money is on not). She checks the blueprints. She probably does a whole ass sherlock holmes mind palace breakdown of the tunnel and the explosion.
then she hears Vi. And she smiles. And goes to her. And asks “Are you still in this fight, Violet?”
The war with Ambessa / Noxus is over. The war with the machines is over. Piltover / Zaun have reached some kind of accord, with Sevika getting a place on the council. So what fight is left?
The fight to stay alive.
She’s asking if Vi still has the will to live.
And Vi, always the scrapper, even though she’s been hurt and lost so much, does. She’s around for the long haul. Ready to rebuild. Mourning, yeah, but knows she will eventually move on.
So Cait keeps her mouth shut.
Because she knew that if Vi thought there was a chance of Jinx being alive, it would consume Vi. There would be nothing but the search for her sister. And if Cait had been wrong it would have destroyed Vi.
If that’s what it took to keep Vi going, she would have told her.
But Vi didn’t need that. So Cait sits with it, knowing full well the gift Jinx gave them. A new life. A fresh start. The fight continues. But not the cycle
