#also while the Quest team do not love Kinich because he's not allowed to have screentime

One thing that did strike me in 5.3 was how, when the group was sharing that they'd recently dreamed about the relatives or friends they'd lost- Kinich doesn't say anything.

And everyone who has read his character story knows why he wouldn't.

He can't talk about his father chasing him down in a drunken rage, only to fall to the bottom of a ravine.

He can't talk about the way rope burned the skin of his hands raw as he, a boy, pulled his father's corpse back up the cliff.

He can't talk about the way its 'almost' implied he subconsciously rejected receiving an Anemo vision because he hated the freedom that came with his father's death. Because solitude felt lonelier and more painful than being beaten.

He can't talk about his stiff relationship with mora and everything that comes with it because he knows what it's like to scrape by, alone, living off the land.

So Kinich doesn't say anything at all.
