Jayce could talk Viktor into anything, and while... there was a part of her, now, that was doing this for Jayce, she....also wanted to do this for Viktor. Because was still her friend.]

I'm not-- [-- trying to fix you, she stops herself from saying. It wouldn't be completely true, even if she did. Because...she kind of was, wasn't she? She's spent a lot of time with Vi, learning how things she always thought meant nothing could mean to someone from Zaun. How prejudice and classism played into how their two sides interacted. Even if Viktor had lived in Piltover for years now, he was still a child of Zaun. She could only imagine what he thought of them, sometimes. Especially when Piltover was largely to blame for most of their problems, and likely...his illness.]

I only want to ease your suffering, Viktor. You're my friend. Is it so wrong, that I don't want you to be miserable?
