Ohhh adding onto this, while people talk alot about Val beheading Vox, Lets not forget that Vel was the one who dropkicked Vox to their level to have that confrontation in the first place. Not to mention, without Vel, Val would continue to be hurting while making excuses for Vox.
I think Viv also called her the backbone and the glue that kept all three together because Val and Vox were very emotionally volatile and because theyโre lovers they also couldnโt have a clear head when they fought.
