[ She's still missing too many pieces. Vi doesn't understand how this is Viktor -- the healer they'd followed the rumors to, cryptic and pretty weird, sure, but someone who had sincerely been trying to help people. To help Vander.

Jayce's explanation had been vague, and parts of it just didn't make sense to her. Back then, they'd all been caught up in the urgency of battle.

The worst part is, he really does sound sorry, despite the inhuman quality of his voice. He sounds like the Viktor they'd met in that impossible garden in the depths of the undercity. It wasn't that long ago that Vi had honestly considered believing in him.

And then there's Jayce. To Vi, it seems he's done a complete about-face. It's disorienting. Infuriating. And she's fucking exhausted. ]

Yeah. Well. Maybe you should've stayed dead too. Another thing for you to half-ass, huh? [ She snaps, but there's not as much bite to it as there was earlier.

The mention of Caitlyn makes her wince. ]

She isn't with me, if that's what you're asking.

[ I'm alone. ]
