We are well past fairness. We both made our choices, Jayce.
[for worst or for better or for somewhere in between, they've done what they've done. No erasing that, not without leaving the hurt for others to bare in their stead. Viktor turned away the chance to do that, would lay with the burden weighing on him. A phantom pain ever present within his empty chest.
Hex here, hex there... their voices of the past laugh through better and worse names for their inventions. Viktor's insisting on simplicity, four letter words where they can. Hex gate, Hex claw, Hex core... Jayce makes fun of him for being so basic. Atlas Gauntlets has so much more flare! ...]
I've been- trying to understand your decisions. I've always understood the fear of helpless inaction. We both prefer to regret what we did, over what we did not do.
[he thinks he knows you, Jayce. Is still grasping onto that knowledge, however hesitantly. Maybe he's lost sight of what he once knew. Maybe Jayce is also not the person that he thought he was...]
Better to try and fail than not try... and yet, we didn't consider the agony that success could bring.
