[ he takes the book and opens the cover. flips through a few pages before turning it over to look at the back. he's not really absorbing what he's reading, more interested in what viktor has to say; he understands that neutrality, or some superficial version of it too. but that's a bit too much to get into right now. ]
That's quite a noble pursuit. Shame you ended up here.
[ he doesn't want to assume, but he does in fact assume that somewhere, something went wrong. he's not going to easily forget that line about his soul being 'too damaged.' ]
[The book ends up being a book with pictures, the style maybe familiar to Dojima by cultural osmosis. It is the first in a set, very similar to what would be Vagabond. Manga.
Viktor does not know Earth's anything, but the man it's about has Dojima vibes.]
Something had changed in my former partner... I'm not sure what exactly. He did not hold the same agreement anymore about our dream of Hextech. He said it was a curse. [A casual gesture at himself.] So he killed me.
[Time to become an otaku entrenched in the historic realism of a knock-off version of Vagabond. Or maybe the real one. I don't know if anyone here would have the right time period or era. IT'S FINE.]
I'm not sure why that would be the case. [He has soup Eldritch brain is why he does not understand. Fool.] Hextech is the child of magic and technology. My partner and I created it. His initial dream became the fruits of our labor.
[Jayce did this (he did not do this entirely on his own).]
This is where those with damage souls go to heal. Mine was likely damaged when Jayce killed me, and the arcane within me tried what it could to preserve me.
I do not harbor any anger toward Jayce. I only wish I could understand and, hopefully, convince him of how beneficial this version of our dream is.
Neither do any of you. I hope the connection between this area and the other becomes functional again once what is happening there is finally rectified.

An ethical concern, perhaps? Although I don't understand what Hextech is, so disregard me if that's out of line.
[ situations like that are always messy. especially if both parties feel justified in their pursuits. ]

[ it was more vague than that but listen. daigo is an overthinker. ]
...Well, there's no way for me to see the whole picture, so anything I'd say would just be baseless conjecture. Sorry.

[ he'd argue that no one should but, he does believe in viktor. ]

So you all may return for your second chances.
