Okay so it seems like Vander betrayed Silco a long time before the bridge massacre. They both look much younger during the betrayal scene and Silco says he was about Deckard’s age when it happened, so probably when they were in their early to mid twenties? Vander looks at least in his thirties during the bridge scene.

But I’m just confused as to why Vander tried to kill Silco. If it was because Silco had plans beyond the Lanes (which Vander brings up as a bad point against Silco during their conversation) but Vander was satisfied with them having control of just the Lanes, why did did he go on to lead the protest at the bridge??

It also sounds like he made Silco an outcast in the Lanes (based on what both Vander and Benzo say)?? But I don’t get what Silco supposedly did for people to believe that he’s some monster who deserves to be cast out. Especially if they saw his eye afterwards, it’s clear he was the victim. And I don’t believe he used the same extreme tactics when he was younger for people to shun him, as he attributes the betrayal with having taught him that lesson. So the only thing that makes sense is that Vander made up some lie about their falling out. I doubt he disclosed that he tried to murder Silco first…

#also I don’t get vander #one second he says silco had his respect until he got too ambitious supposedly #(which silco reminds him wasn’t true because his dream had always been the nation of zaun not just the lanes)#(and it’s vander who turned his back on that)#but then he backtracks and admits he betrayed silco and hasn’t forgiven himself for trying to kill him #(yet he still continues going around badmouthing silco?? and he never tried to make amends??)#so like which is it #also if the betrayal happened after the lanes were established wouldn’t that mean vander didn’t build the underground on his own #but why is he getting all the credit?#it just sounds like he wanted all the power to himself #because if he tried to kill silco cause he wanted to be a pacifist like he is later the bridge scene doesn’t make sense #it’s just hypocritical of him to say silco is doing this for pride or that he’s wrong for striving for more when he went on to do the same #silco #vander #arcane #my opinion #oh also I don’t get this thing I saw about how originally they were gonna show silco being the instigator of the bridge massacre #because he throws a molotov cocktail or something #when the timing doesn’t work out #if vander betrayed him long before then he wasn’t part of the bridge crowd at all
