#Drifter Viri was a victim of the spiral

[alteredsilicone]

During the New War, Drifter has trouble remembering Ballas' name which seems nonsensical, but my personal headcanon is that the Duviri spirals screwed with their sense of time and memories so much that they basically forgot everything that wasn't in Duviri.

#wf tag #tbh this fits with Viri perfectly #cuz like #Operator Viri was brainwashed so hard she didnt even know her own name #Drifter Viri was a victim of the spiral #she does remember her name #its like the only thing she had left #but once operator and drifter merged it literally ended with her not knowing what is and isnt an actual memory of hers #the cruel irony that the only reason she now knows what her father looked like #is because she saw volands human face #and yknow #identical twins and all #(tho her father didnt have a mole RUH ROH PLOT TWIST) #ok viri remembered TWO things - her own name and Iris #everything else was lost #buts he clung to her lovers memory like a drowning person clings to a plank
