Summary
Caitlyn Kiramman was always meant for more—for Piltover, for greatness, for a life where everything had a place, everything made sense. Vi was never supposed to be part of that equation.
They were young when they first met. They weren't dating, not really. Gravity is the reason we fall, Caitlyn had said to her. But Vi knows now—there are other forces, unseen, inescapable. Light bends under gravity. Even the brightest things carry weight. And Caitlyn had always been light to her.
Years later, Vi sees Caitlyn’s name on the news. Caitlyn, who has been in control of everything, is in a car crash. Twisted metal, shattered glass, sirens wailing into the night. By the time Vi reaches the hospital, they’re already fighting to keep Caitlyn alive. She watches from the ER doorway as doctors force air into Caitlyn’s lungs, as her heart monitor flatlines, as they shock her back to life.
Vi doesn’t go inside Caitlyn's room. Maddie does. The fiancée. The woman Caitlyn chose.
Vi should leave. She should let go. But some things never stop moving, even when they should. Even light, when it’s close enough to the edge, can’t escape.
