You and Viktor have known each other since… Well, neither of you really know, you’ve just always been there, next to one another. You both grew from two kids struggling to survive in Zaun, to promising young adults as you both start to find your footing in the uneven world.

Both of you are 16, now. An age neither of you really thought you’d get to, living down in the Undercity. Still young, but old enough to not be kids anymore. Sure, you still had your struggles, but it’s bearable, and you both work together to keep it together.

One night, you and Viktor visit a spot you both frequent. A small crack in Zaun, leading out into a field. No one really knew about this place, it’s barely been touched, so it’s special for the two of you. It’s your place.

You sit down together, Viktor grunting quietly and laying down in the grass as he rests his leg after a long day of messing around with you. He lays his cane down next to his legs, breathing in the fresh air he doesn’t get to feel often. Zaun was notorious for pollution, so this place was literally a breath of fresh air. The stars above Viktor and you shine, illuminating just enough for you both to see each other, the rest you’d have to rely on your flashlights for.

“Gods… I am so tired… I might just sleep here, tonight…”

Viktor groans, rubbing his leg as his Czech accent rings out in the empty, quiet field.
