[Viktor awakens from the cocoon he was in. His entire body, minus his face, is now transformed by the arcane, metallic and faintly glowing]
[to a sleeping Jayce] Jayce?
[awakens, surprised at Viktor's new form] Viktor?... My god...
What... am I?
You're... you're alive. [chuckles shakily] You're-- you're alive! [hugs him. After a moment, Viktor reciprocates] Oh! Oh, oh uh- you must be cold.
Cold. No, I don't think so. I sense a... charge. [Jayce wraps a blanket around his shoulders] A potential. A recursive impulse. Unpleasant, but... "cold" isn't its name. [looks back at the cocoon he came out of] The Hexcore.
Viktor, it saved you. Somehow it- it adapted to your injuries, changing and evolving. It was as if it was... connected to you. [Viktor studies his hand] I did my best using the notes from your leg. Recorded everything. There are still so many questions, but-
I was supposed to die. You promised to destroy the Hexcore.
[shaking his head] No. Don't you see? Heimerdinger was wrong. We were wrong! It's not as bad as we-
It killed Sky, Jayce.
[softly] What? No...
She had such dreams. [visualizing Sky behind Jayce, he walks over to the table] As did we once.
I'm going to resign from the Council. I understand now. My place was always here in the lab with you. [puts an arm around him] We'll make this right! Together.
[picking up his notes] I must say goodbye to this place now. To you. [begins to leave]
Goodbye? Viktor, you're my partner.
Our paths diverged long ago. It was... affection, that held us together.
You think it's so easy? To turn your back while your whole city looks to you for salvation? To cling to principles while your best friend bleeds out in your arms? I never asked for this! [Viktor is silent, and then turns to leave again] Where are you going?
Goodbye, Jayce.
