Since no one else is willing to do what you are, you probably can negotiate from that position a preferred vision. If you wanted to.
[ Jayce is either very, very good at politics or very, very bad at it depending on where you come from on the subject, but he wants to stay away from it here and now. He learned that lesson the hard way. But he's spent years being the face of Hextech and the person in between their work and the Council, so that does come naturally to him. He's pretty good at the business end of things, even if he genuinely would be happier spending his time with hammers and equations. ]
I went to the museums and libraries to get a good sense of where we are, and the distaste for Thorne is sometimes subtle, and sometimes very direct.
[ Sometimes academics manage to be distanced from their personal feelings, and sometimes they really can't be. Jayce has always been the latter. So he gets that. His heart has always led him first, despite his head being much smarter. At the generational trauma reference, Jayce does pause to put it into words the best way he knows how. Psychology is not his greatest suit, but he has studied so many things at this point, his brain is a strange hodgepodge of various topics. ]
Generational trauma is the idea that trauma an older generation went through can be transferred to their children and their children's children, and so on. The children may not have experienced what their grandparents did, but the painful experiences that their ancestors went through still seep through their bloodline so it never really dies. Especially if the same experiences continue to happen, like repression and prejudice.
[ Jayce is not speaking from experience so it sounds more like the way an academic would present it. He may have been on the poorer end in Piltover, but not something like anyone from the Undercity, so it really isn't comparable. What Vi told him still rings in his head, that he is responsible by turning a blind eye to what happened to the Undercity, and it's true. He is still digesting that.]
Our city back home has a lot of struggles with that kind of long-term conflict.
[ And Jayce was unequal to the task of fixing the city's problems, which means he never should have taken the authority onto him in the first place, but what's done is done. He is very serious about this, it's been weighing on his mind. ]
Part of our ambition was to use our work to help both sides of the city, but we haven't really gotten there yet. Maybe we'll have better luck helping people here.
