For several years, Viktor’s leg caught my eye—specifically, I was searching for an official diagnosis and struggling to find something that fit him. After years of speculating, I believe I've found his condition's proper diagnosis and name.

Viktor has a rare and severe case of femoral anteversion in his right leg.

What exactly is femoral anteversion? It is a condition in which the femur rotates, causing the knees and feet to face inward rather than forward. This can impact one or both legs. This condition usually resolves on its own, but more severe cases require medical intervention such as leg braces, therapy, and surgery in more extreme instances—however, this condition is treatable.

This condition impacts children, typically the result of trauma, fetal development, or genetics. Viktor was likely born with this, which would propose that he’s either genetically predisposed to it or the result of a tough pregnancy.

This small scene is an excellent example. It’s only several seconds long, but here we can see that his leg is rotated inward, and he corrects it to face forward—which pains him as he visibly winces—all while Jayce speaks.

It’s noticeable when he’s a kid. You can see how his leg twists and faces inward and how his foot catches on the heel of his other foot, which causes him to trip. In episode 8, while he runs on the dock, he almost trips from this issue again before catching himself and sprinting. Viktor also has an in-toe gait; his step curves as he walks, while his other leg does not.

His leg brace, which we see in Act 2, serves one primary purpose: to force the leg to rotate and face the proper direction. However, at this stage, his condition has been left untreated for so long that it is progressing and showing a drastic impact on his entire body that the leg brace will not fix. It also makes mobility even more challenging for him, with difficulty bending and extending his leg.

This condition can throw the entire body out of whack if left untreated. It can cause pelvic issues, osteoarthritis, spinal decompensation, labral and chondral damage, hamstring-originated tendinopathy, and even weakening of the abdominal muscles, as well as a wide range of spinal problems. The feet, hips, and back are significant body parts that work together; if one is bad, the rest will suffer.

Viktor would require a femoral derotation osteotomy; however, given the severity of his condition and how other parts of his body are now significantly impacted--such as his pelvis and spine, we now have more complications on our hands and that's not even touching on his unnamed lung disease.

There's still so much I could discuss here, and perhaps later, after work; I have a handful of notes I've taken about this and how it all just ties together for Viktor, and honestly, it has been really fun to look at and analyze.

Why am I just now realizing that Angel, Baxter, Travis, Sir Penguins and a bunch of other characters are in this scene? Like, I don’t know if someone else has already noticed (most likely, I just haven’t seen anything) And who is the bigger character in the back hunched over? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!?????

I have a question. Who took the dart out of Curtain’s neck? Like was there a vote or whoever touched their nose the slowest had to do it? Probably Milligan because he most likely put him in the bag (I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that thought of Milligan carrying Nickolas 😂) but I can just imagine Kate and Milligan being like:

Kate: “…”

Milligan: “…”

Kate: “ Well I’m not going to do it.”

Milligan: “Of course not!”

Kate: “ Than why are you looking at me like I should.”

I’m probably overthinking it but I thought it and now it won’t go away. (PFFFFFFFF what if they just left it there 😂)

This is a really interesting answer, I didn’t think about it like that. Now that you mentioned it, it makes a ton of sense. I mean like, Nathaniel even admitted that he did his research about Nickolas’ family to the point where he knew where Number Two’s parents’ house is, a place where she hates to go back too. He knows about Milligan because of the Brainsweeper thing, I don’t know if he knows Rhonda though.

I just saw something from bi-demon-ium about if Nickolas was the only one kidnapped and now I’m wondering why Nathaniel took Number Two as well. Like, for intimidation purposes or to make sure Nickolas couldn’t do anything, like why? Or was she just there at the wrong time?
