[ Questions she should have to ask. It's different from when they were kids sharing a room, playing together. Did they dance then?
Blasting music from the jukebox in the Last Drop when no one was around during the day. Making stages out of tables. Making forts and ramparts out of chairs, fighting to the imaginary death with imaginary armies against Claggor and Mylo and Ekko. Haphazardly nailed-together wooden swords and sticks clacking against furniture until they were shooed into the street.
You're a fighter.
So is Jinx. She'd had to become one.
Couldn't be all dancing all the time.

She doesn't know the last time she tried to learn Vi's motions to aid her not find a way to combat her.] You know I think we deserve some fun.

[ Every time she's been hopeful, it turned out to be a mistake.
And still, somehow, that hope keeps creeping back in. Just won't die. Like a fucking cockroach, that hope.
The little voice that says: maybe this time it'll be different. ]
