Theresa really is one of the characters of all time. She doesn't believe in prophecy or fate, except the one that she's doomed to. She wishes to break the cycle of violence but is also the instigator of it. She is selfless and giving to a degree that seems almost inhuman or divine, but at the same time is characterized by a few moments of selfishness of such enormity that it almost outweighs her selflessness. She is so hopeful and idealistic about the future and those who will succeed her, but she believes herself to be a failure and has no hope for herself. She fully accepts the role she has to play as the sacrifice that must be made so her loved ones can have a better future, but she so, so desperately wants to linger...

I didn't even really talk about Kal'tsit in my post because honestly if I did there was a really serious chance at the time that I would end up having a crying fit. At the risk of being a bit melodramatic, Theresa and Kal'tsit love each other so, so much. It's legitimately painful. Kal'tsit is much more animated when Theresa is around, so much more willing to have and show her emotions around the woman she clearly trusts dearly.

Kal'tsit and Theresa each have their own hopes for each other on what Babel and Rhodes Island should mean for the other. Theresa is repeatedly considered Kal'tsit's companion and wants to help Kal'tsit shoulder the emotional pressure of her immortality.

Kal'tsit makes some of the most distressed expressions once she realizes Theresa has died. She blames herself almost automatically for not considering the possibility of an assassination. But it's Theresa who forces herself back through Civilight Eterna to help comfort Kal'tsit. To help Kal'tsit make the right decisions while she is in her emotional trauma. She cares so much for her companion that she forces herself back from the dead to make sure she could talk to Kal as she needed to.

Kal'tsit then forms Rhodes Island in her ideal, she takes close care of Amiya, she holds herself back from killing the Doctor, and she is putting 120% of herself in fulfilling Theresa's dream.

If that isn't love, I don't know what is.

How kind of you, to take my hands, to make me regret, and ultimately save me the pain of mourning you.

How kind of you, Theresa.

The contrast between what Theresa does to the Doctor (a final act of mercy, a chance to be reborn anew, to someone who very reasonably arguably doesn't deserve it) and what Theresa does to Amiya (condemning her to a fate worse than death, out of a hope and deep deep desperation that maybe just maybe she can be the one to do what she couldn't) deeply deeply insane. She dispenses out forgiveness and damnation with the same hand.

It's made even more insane by the way she goes around doing it, damnation via bequeathing a gift upon Amiya, vs. salvation by utterly destroying the Doctor's identity, unwinding it thread by thread.
