“He says: ‘The capitalistic world killed the artist in me.’ He sees as coming from outside all that comes from inside. I know the artist in him must have been very weak to be defeated by this obstacle at all. Limitations, restrictions, defeats, come from within. I am fully responsible for my own restrictions.”

Literally me my entire life...
Just thinking about how different Season 3 Kieran is from Season 1 Kieran tonight.
Season 1 Kieran would have never shared cake with Lauren or looked that relaxed around her. He saw her as a means to an end, primarily. He saw her lie detecting ability and her detective skills and how useful she is, not much else.
He is also far more tense in Season 1. Less free. Less at peace.
It starts to change, right before the Tower Incident. Kieran and Lauren have a brief moment of vulnerability, but they’re still pretty standoffish. Kieran is less settled because he still cannot see a way out of being an assassin, even though they did a lot of work against the Phantom Scythe.
In Season 3, though, he is more genuine, more open, and he has hope. He has hope that his assassin days are at their end. He had hope that he might be free from the Phantom Scythe. And he has someone to be genuine with, someone who will help him and someone he can be more free with.
Through Season 2, Kieran came to see Lauren as more than what she could do for him and his mission. He came to see her as a person worth protecting, a person worth knowing, a person with whom Kieran could let down his guard with, even if it’s only slightly.
That change is so evident in that scene in episode 148.
In the memory, Kieran has his devil may care mask on, smirking and enjoying the scene in front of him, but not at peace, with no hope, and with no connection. He was only an observer. In the present time, he has connection, he has hope, he is working towards freedom and peace.
He has something to live for.

Kieran's soft expression when Lauren is laughing gets me every time, i'm sure he loves the sound of her laugh... and the way Lauren looks at Kieran witnessing him being happy and having fun with her friends? i want to throw myself off a cliff i swear

“For her the ocean was more than a dream, it was a place she needed to visit to find herself and when she returned to the city, you could see the sun in her eyes, the wind in her hair, and taste the infinite salt on her lips.”

“Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment. Which is pretty amazing, when you actually think about it.”
