[Jinx, whom he met on the train, and Silco, whom he met when that weird goat kidnapped them. He'd seen some of the bickering on the network, but he never bothered paying it much mind. Guess that was a dumb assumption to make.
Accelerator is silent as he listens and, well, he's sure there's now tons of gaps in his knowledge. Jinx seemed pretty smart, but he wouldn't have guessed she's... what? A terrorist? If she's working for Silco, then maybe. That guy is a whole other kettle of fish. He was clearly running something, maybe Zaun? Both Jayce and Jinx mentioned it before, and Jayce just now said he's part of Piltover's council --
So the two - nations? Cities? Whatever - were in conflict - he doesn't know what the hell Jayce means by 'factories' - there's a lot he still doesn't know, but his brain is going ahead and sliding what pieces he has into place, making all of that connections like it normally does. It all takes less than a second, though he's silent for a few moments after Jayce finishes. All of that stuff, understanding Zaun and Piltover, it's easy compared to the emotional aspect of this story.
Namely, that Jayce has apparently committed murder.
Not something Accelerator would have ever pegged him for. He's practically the human version of a golden retriever, for crying out loud, and his gut instinct is to be pissed off that some poor kid died because an adult couldn't control himself. That's the easy option, just be pissed off at Jayce, but he knows it wouldn't be the mature one.
He draws in a deep breath. This is going to suck, he can't even remember the face of the person he's thinking of.]
One of my previous legal guardians is a teacher and works for law enforcement in my city, and even though the majority of the criminals she encounters are kids, she won't ever raise a weapon at a child.
[Now that he's saying that out loud, it really sounds like he's going in a certain direction with this. He continues.]
There's a reason for that. She follows that rule because she wants to pay back a debt for something she did. Sounds like you're in the same boat.
