Is a happy ending in store for Cait and Vi?

Arcane co-showrunner and co-creator Christian Linke has teased the future of Caitlyn and Vi's relationship after their messy Act 1 breakup and sudden reunion on the outskirts of the commune in Act 2.

"There is love, yes. But the question is, can it survive?" Linke says on the second episode of Arcane's Afterglow on YouTube. "Caitlyn has this huge weight on her shoulders and in that position, I think she definitely feels like she can't allow herself to indulge in any of her personal feelings – and seem vulnerable. [She can't] let that distract her."

While Caitlyn is still focusing on the job at hand as commander of Piltover (for now, anyway – we can't imagine Ambessa is too thrilled at the previous episode's double cross), Vi reacts to their parting of the ways with a mixture of booze and brawling.
