what happens

Healing comes from a familiar face — in an unfamiliar place. A stunning betrayal threatens to change countless lives.

Not enough to put a number on. The shape below is drawn from what there is, with the widest uncertainty band we use — it is the start of an answer, not one.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

“The charcoal moment in ep 1 was so beautiful, the artists really know how to use different mediums for different emotional hits. Charcoal for sorrow”

“the narration at the end implies the Arcane is a perfect duality between light and dark, good and evil, creation and destruction etc, meaning Viktor's good intentions have disturbed the balance; hence, Jayce must counteract to reset the equilibrium. This is why Arcane is considered to be dangerous, it encourages people to push towards two opposite extremes, and the turbulence in between causes great suffering. Isha's death should not be surprising, but it still stings.”
