[Ekko uses his Z-drive to pause time, crack Viktor's mask, and break Jayce from the trance]
I thought I wanted us to give magic to the world. Now... all I want... is my partner back.
Why do you persist? After... everything I've done?
Because I promised you. [he hugs him. Viktor sees Jayce's memories of the ruined future, in which he spoke to the mage]
[flashback] Why did you ever give me this? Why? [the mage reveals his face to be an older version of Viktor]
I thought I could bring an end to the world's suffering. But when every equation was solved... all that remained... were fields of dreamless solitude. There is no prize to perfection. Only an end to pursuit. [showing a flashback of him giving the rune to a young Jayce] In all timelines... in all possibilities... [montage of Jayce and Viktor working together] Only you, can show me this. [current Viktor hyperventilates, changing back from his evolved form. He pushes away from Jayce, breathing heavily and staring at what he's done]
You must go, Jayce. [Jayce touches his shoulder]
[taking the rune from his wrist and placing it in Viktor's hand] We finish this together. [they hold each other as the rune explodes, sucking their physical bodies inside of it]
