An extra bit of lore on Kindred, I may be getting the minutia a bit off, but the general gist of it is:
Lamb understands feelings, but cannot feel them. Wolf can feel emotions, but cannot understand them.
Some of their dialogue shows this, as they often converse between each other:
Lamb asks Wolf what hunger feels like, as she knows what it is, and understands it, but cannot feel it.
Wolf replies stating that hunger is always there and that he doesn't like it, but Wolf doesn't understand why he feels this way.

4:11 Death was lonely, since no living thing wanted it, so it split itself in two to always have a friend. I fucking love that so much! It's so beautiful!

My interpretation has always been that Lamb is the Cello and Wolf the Piano. The reason for this being that Lamb's voicelines in game are all very sombre, I remember reading and listening somewhere that her walk animation is more like a funural march. Wolf's voicelines on the otherhand are more playful, sometimes even innocent but the given to wild frezy when he senses prey nearby.

Kindred is one of my favorite characters lore-wise in League. One of their stories, "A Good Death" is easily one of my favorite stories, only second to "The Bird and the Branch," which was released for Taliyah. Everything about them, their music, dialogue, everything catches such a perfect, mystical, mythological vibe that personifies death in a way I've never seen before. And when you have to write a version of death in a world where gods walk the earth, and immortal beings exist in practicality, you really have to give off the feeling that Kindred is something that cannot be stopped, and that they are inevitable. Symbolism is a thing that is so closely tied to death, and the designers at Riot do it so well with Kindred.

Something that only hit me during this listen, each instrument carries a part of each character. Not only is the duality of their sound fitting but neither is solely tied to a single character.
The cello is somber and ominous, the piano is light and energetic. Which line up perfectly with the two sides of The Kindred.
The Lamb represents a peaceful death, dancing through the dark to give those who accept rest their final peace, their hearts light.
The Wolf represents violent death, his ominous presence felt in every battle, frenzied energy fueling them through their last grueling moments.

I love Kindred's voice lines and theme so much, here are some of my favourite quotes
"Those who run from death, stood still in life"
"Beauty fades, and that is why it is beautiful"
Lamb: "Never one... without the other"
Wolf: "Never one... without the other"
Lamb: "He took an axe, and split himself in two, right down the middle"
Wolf: "So he would always have a friend?"
Lamb: "So he would always have a friend"
Wolf: "Is this what it's like to end?"
Lamb: "I do not know, for this is not our end"
Wolf: "Do others come back?"
Lamb: "Those who do, wish they hadn't"

Kindred is also one of the most powerful champs (lore wise) in that universe. For as long as there is life, there will be Kindred. Kindred will always be there, waiting. When the universe ends, there will only be Kindred and Fiddlesticks, until even death itself succumbs to their fear: being alone, being the Pale Man

I love their theme so much, the Cello is there to remind you that death is ever present. The piano is there to show to tell you that there's peace in death if you can accept it that is but wether if people accept it or not the ending will always be the same for even the calm piano turns somber towards the end.
