[ It stings because it makes sense in its own twisted way. Jinx was a symbol to many in Zaun, and if Viktor had hoped to replace that role, it would make sense to get rid of her. The scariest part isn't that it's realistic, it's that it's scope is so tiny compared to what he'd thought he needed to do to help everyone. No pain of mortal bodies, no struggle of human emotions; it would have been peaceful and easy compared to the constant fight that anyone born in Zaun was used to. Viktor hadn't been after Jinx's role as a symbol, he'd ascended straight to godhood.

None of that matters. His own hurricane of thoughts isn't something that he needs to burden others with, least of all someone like Powder. ]

You have every reason not to trust me. [ There's a soft sigh that carries through, a feeling more than the sound. ] For fear of something worse catching you by surprise while your attention is on me, please believe that I'm just as confused as you are.
