I often think about that scene of Sevika being soft and advising Silco about Jinx. I often think about the fact that she knew Powder before. I wonder if after Silco took her in, Sevika ever tied her shoes, watched her play, or picked her up when she fell. I wonder what it was like for Sevika to watch Silco destroy a little girl's sanity and know she couldn't do anything about it.
Sevika who knew Vi and Powder before things went to shit
Sevika who taught Vi to fight ("I see you never learned patience.")
Sevika who used to sit Powder on her lap and teach her how to play card games
Sevika who had to get used to the little girl running to give her a hug whenever she showed up
Sevika who started to care more than she wanted to
Sevika who was pissed about her arm but still sympathized with Powder
Sevika who could only watch, horrified, as Silco manipulated and groomed Jinx into becoming someone she didn't recognize
Sevika who was forced to take a step back because Jinx had to believe Silco was the only one who cared about her
Sevika who spat poison at a child until she got the message:
"I'm not your fucking Mommy."
Sevika who lay awake at night wondering if she could justify what she did for the Undercity's freedom if it came at the cost of leaving a little girl to rot
