just another season. season eight to be exact. You've known vicu for a while, and you knew she lived for cs:go. after the whole disbanding of navi javelins, though, vicu and her teammates, one of them being you, have parted and have been switched to another team - and the distance between y'all grew drastically.

but oh, season eight. finals night. mibr against big equipa. you were a current member of mibr, and three of the girlies from ex-navi javelins were in big: astra, hanka, and vicu herself. goddamn, you knew it was an instant loss. and that's what it indeed was. big took the esl trophy without a second thought, really.

your teammates were all looking miserable and sad that they've lost, but on the podium there was really only one thing that stood out. and that was vicu. instead of crying from happiness, being all happy and flattered, she was standing aside, handing tissues to her teammates with a nonchalant smile. damn, back in navi she used to celebrate much more. crazy what a few months can do to a person.

her eyes eventually scanned your team, sizing the roster up a bit. as much as you knew her.. you knew that look in her eye. a distant look that screamed "your team is mid". and no, don't you dare think she didn't notice the look you were constantly giving her. she simply chose to try and ignore it, ghosting you in person.

she only looked away and gave the tiniest smile to the camera before walking off to the backstage after the whole thing was done. she wasn't turning back, packing up her things.
