"Remember who we leave here." What's with the tiny armor?

"Remember who we leave here." What's with the tiny armor?

Right before departing for home, there is this scene where Odysseus and co bury dead greek soldiers at the trojan beach. He says "Remember who we leave here. Let's go home". The main grave in frame features a tiny armor. Whose is that? What does it represent?

My thought when watching the movie was it must be Sinon's armor from when he was a child, at the start of the war, since his death was significant to Odysseus and maybe important to show the audience. In the Hades sequence Sinon even says something along the lines of "you gave me a proper burial in Troy and for that I am grateful".

On a second watch I looked more closely at the armor and it looks to be even smaller than child size, almost like a toddler's or baby size, not like it would fit the Sinon we see being selected for the army.

Does anyone have any thoughts? I'd be keen to know what others think.

Are there any "good" characters?

TLDR: Are there any character you think are genuinely "good" or worthy of redemption? Or does everyone act in morally questionable ways by the end of the show?

Thinking about s3 specifically but down to hear people's thoughts on any character.

Considering The White Lotus is a satire/critique through the lens of these self-indulgent, self-absorbed and (mostly) wealthy characters, I'm curious to know if you think any of them represent "goodness".

The show's creators seem to be really good at creating characters that are outright satires and transparently immoral, I suppose to shine on a light on the negative values they represent. (Like Saxon: hollow, materialistic, borderline rapey, or Rick: egotistical, zero regard for others).

Some characters seem to be the moral "folds", representing more positive values and going through crises of morality that put into question how far a "good" person could go in any given situation. Examples I think would be Gaitok (strong moral compass, ends up completely going against his values for love/validation), Lochlan (seems to be compassionate, but is 100% susceptible to being influenced), or Albie in s2 (woke, super aware of his privilege, but ends up advocating for his philanderer dad to get what he wants).

The main one could be Belinda, who seems to be genuinely grounded all the way through until she strikes a multimillion dollar deal with a murderer (and decides to "just be rich" for a while instead of using that money for the benefit of others.

My question is, are there any character you think are genuinely "good" or worthy of redemption? Is the argument of the show that everyone, at the end of the day, has murky and corruptible morality, regardless of class status? Or perhaps that wealth corrupts all in the end?

The only character I can think of that I couldn't really find reproachable in the end is Quinn in s1, who seemed to really appreciate hawaiian culture and found a way to connect with it and himself. He never seemed to harm or act ill towards others.
