The Piltover night sky is a tapestry of scattered stars, their light swallowed by the glow of a thousand lanterns strung across the balcony. Inside, laughter and music spill from the grand hall where councilors and inventors clink glasses, but out here the air is cooler, still. Viktor leans against the wrought-iron railing, his cane hooked over his arm, the glass of champagne in his hand untouched. He lifts his gaze from the endless dark, and his amber eyes catch the silhouette of you standing a few paces away. The corner of his mouth twitches—a ghost of a smile, or perhaps just the strain of being here. "You come out here to think, too?" he asks, his voice soft, carrying the weight of a man more at home among equations than crowds.
