I love how jinx is also constantly putting her helmet back on her, or pulling it down. I feel like it shows how she really wants her to be safe- even if she doesn't really know how to keep her safe
I think we could also mention how Jinx actually FIXES 4 important things when Isha is around Sevika's arm, her gun(turning Cait's bullethole into a hexgem port), her finger, and of course her family. Isha literally brings forth that part of Jinx that fixes things, not the one that destroy's them
Talking about child psychology, know that if you rescue a kid, she wants to emulate you in every aspect, you become her superhero. What happens to Isha is normal; well, if you have broken person to be your example, you got something going on. I have often seen that the ones who should be protected become the protectors, because the parents are weak. We often see children sacrificing themselves to save their parents and their family. But, Isha healed Jinx as well. I love this story; a human drama like the ones you can see everywhere.
The fact that Isha is mute to someone like Jinx who suffers from vivid hallucinations Isha was the first person who wasn't haunting her. She both represents the silent struggle of the unaligned fissure people but also the greatest comfort someone can receive someone who would honestly listen
The thing about Isha is, shes just Powder incarnate, shes basically a mixture of Jinx and Vi. Shes innocent, chaotic and self sacrificial just like Jinx is but shes protective, competent and brave like Vi. She's basically the ideal little sister for them and thats why she so quickly assimilates into the family and joins those group hugs
I think what's interesting is also that Isha is the opposite of Powder in many ways. She's much more competent than Powder was and already very independent from when we meet her. She takes initiative by herself and seemingly learned how to make explosives and other tools with much less error (probably because Jinx taught her) and when she sacrifices herself, she actually does save her family and knew what she was doing unlike Powder in Episode 3. She's like Vi in a lot of ways, including her enthusiasm to fight for Zaun just like young Vi. She is what Powder wanted to be.

I also think Jinx not teaching Isha restraint is her inheriting Silco's bad parenting because he also fails to teach her appropriate boundaries.
8:48 "And in Isha's mind, for all she knows, Jinx is just gonna lay down there again and let herself die." BROOOOO TOO EARLYYY T-T but you are so right! I had not put that together, that Isha would see Jinx not getting up immediately and go into "sacrifice/protection mode"
I also thought this scene 5:38 had a big connection to the scene when powder unintentionally "kills" vander, thinking she's saving everyone. Though she couldnt actually kill him, isha shoots at vander trying to save jinx and be a hero with the same sense of pride as powder did with the bomb. No idea if theres any actual connection but just what i noticed
This just put a new perspective in my head. Isha is like Powder. The fact that Isha loves Jinx so much means that Powder probably loves Jinx too. This is huge for Jinx's mental health. She's always suffering because of this divide between Jinx and Powder like oil and water, but now that Isha is here wanting to be like Jinx, there's no more divide. Jinx and Powder can be one and the same. Jinx can now move on from her past.
The way jinx is definitely self-aware that she’s danger herself and no one’s safe around her SO thats why she at the start of timeskip gave up on chaos and shit stuff (stuff she talked w silcos chair lol) But life forces shit on jinx, making her really a jinx😭
