to those who follow game lore: how do you think widow’s story will evolve?

Discussion

i noticed that after the vendetta takedown of talon and doomfist’s survival he has new voice lines with reaper and sombra about what to do next and how to regain control of talon but none with widow, and according to her bio she’s an “unseen and unbound free agent” since breaking free from moira’s grip. given that this also means that she can’t get periodic management of her reconditioning, how do you think that will go for her? what are you expecting or wishing to see? in regards of where she stands in this new phase and the whole reign of talon thing + future seasons, do you think she’ll end up doing anything to help any of the forces involved? will she seek help if her body/mind start to break to an unbearable level? many questions, yes, but i’m genuinely curious and widow is probably my favorite character lore-wise since her character is way more complex than what meets the eye. to me it would be interesting if we could see more of her life pre-talon and her relationship to other overwatch characters (given that now her memories and feelings will be way more present) and also more insight into her life as widowmaker + how her decision to leave talon came to be, if it was something she’s been waiting/planning for long (“the right moment” type of situation) or if it was more about vendetta (and if her dad trying to kill gerard weighted in the decision)
