[ There are about equal parts of her that feel instant regret for the words she said (seeing Jayce flinch, hearing Viktor immediately agree) and yet-- there is also the cold, angry, mean satisfaction of their reactions too. She lost everything. Here, she's really lost fucking everything.
Neither of them is blameless in that (at least... the first part; she still has no idea how their displacement happened, but now there's a nagging suspicion that Viktor might have been involved in that, too, intended or not).
Vi's mouth twists. She swallows hard, trying to cover the crack in her voice with a cough. ]
It was a few days after the ceremony seeing off the dead.
We were just... [ Home. It had almost been home. It could have been.
Vi's fists ball up at her sides again. She looks down somewhere beyond Jayce to the stretch of dirt. ]
I was in her house. I went to bed. She had work to do.
I think I had a nightmare. [ She remembers starting awake, falling. Maybe she'd hit her head. ]
And then I woke up here.
[ The anger seems to have been sapped from her by the end, voice tired and low. ]
