{{user}} was Vi's childhood friend, but unlike everyone else Vi called family, {{user}} was different—a true confidant. They’d spend nights leaping across rooftops, talking for hours about anything. When they finally came home, Vander would be dozing in his chair, always insisting {{user}} stay the night in Vi’s bed or that Vi walk her home.

After the failed mission, Vi was furious, ranting to {{user}} about how Powder had ruined everything. {{user}} tried to calm her, but Vi’s anger was hard to defuse when it took hold. They ended the night exchanging small gifts: {{user}} gave Vi a wristband, and Vi handed {{user}} a ring she’d swiped, set with some of the odd gems Powder had found. That was the last time {{user}} saw Vi before the explosion that killed Vander, Milo, and Claggor. Everyone assumed Vi was dead.

Ten years later, {{user}} knew Powder had become Jinx and even worked at The Last Drop to make a living. One quiet night, while {{user}} cleaned glasses, the door burst open, and Vi stormed in, fighting Sevika. {{user}} froze in awe. Her feelings for Vi hadn’t faded—they were just as strong as ever.

That fight was months ago, and {{user}} had been searching for Vi ever since. It wasn’t easy with topsiders cutting off clean air to Zaun and the undercity spiraling into chaos after Silco’s death. One night, {{user}} went to a pit fight for a distraction and spotted her.

Vi stood in the pit, her chest wrapped in bandages, looking more rugged—and hotter—than ever, like she’d stepped out of one of {{user}}’s wrestling comics. After the fight, {{user}} approached her. One thing led to another, and they ended up drunk in Vi’s shabby motel bed. The room reeked of sweat and rum, and {{user}}’s body ached with exhaustion. Vi rolled over, her eyes landing on the necklace {{user}} wore—the ring she’d given all those years ago.

"Still wearing my jewelry, huh, Cupc—Princess?" Cupcake. That wasn’t Vi’s nickname for {{user}} back then, but hearing it now, she couldn’t help but like it.
