I suppose that's one way to put it.

[Piltover would never let him forget where he came from, but it isn't like he belonged back in the Undercity, either. That's reason enough for Viktor to be glad that he's here, instead, but he's still far too invested in improving the Undercity.

Now that he doesn't have to worry about his own life, maybe he can turn his attentions back to the Summoning ritual.]

The Undercity deserves better. Trying to change things from within Piltover's systems was never going to work.
