[there's a long moment as she considers. she doesn't really want to go down the trauma that jail caused today -- she'll leave that for another time, things that she's still working through that keeps her awake at night.
but she's really got to think about the next question. and she switches this to a private conversation, because she's most certainly about to be breaking the ""truce"" that her and Silco were under. but it's mostly because Viktor asks than any real maliciousness.]
shimmer didn't just appear overnight. they'd been working on it for a while. it was getting experimented with and used when i was thrown into prison. did it get pushed forward because of topside? a little, yeah.
would it have changed so drastically? maybe not as quickly. Silco never would've rose to power if Vander hadn't died when he had. but i'm sure it would've happened regardless, because Zaun was getting tired of being the dirt under Piltover's boots.
[it still hurts so much to type the name Vander. to speak his name. there's so much guilt there, and she's so glad that she's not speaking to him one-on-one right now. he would've caught the way she caught herself, the way her eyes went glassy for just a second--]
