You’re a remarkable man, Luther. Despite what I put you through, I hope that you can forgive me. Will you? Will you forgive me, son?

TUA S3 SPOILERS
Angst fanfic writers now that it has been confirmed that Klaus has died over 50 times:
Also Reggie caused his death when he was like 8 WOOOOAH BOY HERE WE GO
the umbrella academy | auf wiedersehen
i think you’re getting the hang of it, boy!
You’re just more trouble than you’re worth.
this will never not hurt
you know he's gone his whole life believing he's the weakest link, a waste of space, a liability. the only one weaker than him all those years was viktor, who wasn't even considered one of them. of the members of the umbrella academy, klaus was always the one with the useless powers. as adults they continued to treat him like this. never taking him seriously, acting like he was always in the way. and then when they found out viktor had powers, more powerful than any of them, that feeling only increased. now he really is the least powerful, the most useless.
until season 3. while everyone else is dealing with the sparrows and the kugelblitz, he's spending time with this new version of his father, who actually seems to care about him, not only more than the man who raised him but than his siblings. finally this version of his dad sees him as more than just a number and wants to help him perfect his abilities. he helps klaus see how powerful he can be, what he's truly capable of. suddenly klaus doesn't feel useless. suddenly he doesn't feel like a waste of space. he feels like he has a purpose, like he's needed.
and then he's betrayed. all of those old feelings are shoved right back at him. all this time he was being used. and when the time came, he wasn't needed anymore. he served one purpose to reginald, which was to get the others to trust him again. now that that's done, klaus isn't needed. all that time spent on his powers was pointless. once again, he's the weakest link. once again, he's a liability.
you can see the pain in his eyes, hearing his father say those words. the heartbreak. the betrayal. all that time spent overcoming his fears, perfecting his abilities, gaining closure from his childhood and relationship with his dad. only to be left for dead in the end, because he's more trouble than he's worth.
