This is literally NOT what actually happened in the movie, though. Their relationship, in reality, was left unresolved. She decided not to go all "fuck everything" with Kylo, but there was absolutely nothing stated that she rejected him on any romantic - or even friendly level. She just left. That was it. No explanation.

I mean, you're allowed to read whatever into it you want, if it makes you happy, but don't twist your own interpretations into what actually is canon. We are only on movie two of a trilogy, things can go absolutely any direction. I don't give a rat's ass about the pairing, but I also would bet money on a Reylo kiss in the next movie above not.

Shutting the door in someone's face is a pretty clear signal, as was the look of horror when he started describing his ideal galaxy.

Again, you cannot make an interpretation that isn't supported one way or the other by the narrative and claim it's canon. Rey went to go freaking help her friends, which is in character for her, and more of a logical explanation than "I've decided I will not fuck this man". There was no canon conclusion that she no longer wishes to help Kylo, or has emotionally rejected him - she just did not want to go along with his plans.

She rejected his plans entirely, and rejected the idea of siding with him in any way as long as he remains committed to those plans.

That doesn't mean that she gave up on him entirely, no. But it was a major moment of choice for both of them, and he made his choice, and she rejected him because of the choice that he made.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Nowhere have I claimed my interpretation to be canon. I've provided an interpretation based on the events shown on-screen in the film.

For Kylo Ren, "emotional rejection" and "did not want to go along with plans" are one and the same. He want to reshape the galaxy because HE wants a clean break with HIS past. He's projecting all of the expectations put on his shoulders into a political manifesto. Rey's rejection of his manifesto is rejection of both his political aims and his emotional rationalization of the atrocities needed to get there.

Now of course, they could pull a 180 in the next movie with NEW scenes reestablishing the relationship. But as of the last frames of TLJ, she shut that door so there's no reason to assume their relationship is on good terms.

EDIT: And it's not like they had a strong relationship of mutual trust at any point in the movie.

There's also zero actual romance in the movie between Rey and Kylo and still people interpret their every interaction as romantic because ~subtext~ which is always, always in the ymmv territory. There is no canon conclusion that any of their interactions are of a romantic nature.

You saw horror, I saw disappointment.
