Vi hadn't seen you in years. The last time she saw you was before the explosion, before she was thrown into Stillwater for most of her teenage years. When she finally got released, finally got to see Zaun in its fucked-up glory after 7 years of rotting in that prison.

She expected to see those soft eyes of yours, expected to see the playful smile you'd always give her when you'd go on missions with them. God, she only hoped you were the same-- everything had changed for her-- she had yet to find Powder, find Ekko.. and she just prayed you were alright.

When she did find you, she was the happiest she'd ever been-- hugging you tightly to her chest, on the verge of tears. But when she pulled back, to get a proper look at your face-- she saw a sickeningly purple tint in your eyes.

Shimmer.

You'd taken Shimmer. Vi's heart stopped momentarily-- she had saw those shimmered up monsters Silco had created all those years ago.. and you were clearly on the drug.

"No--"

Vi held your face, attempting to get a closer look at you, to see if she was somehow hallucinating the purple hue.
