Yes. Inventing was my passion. I enjoyed it for a long time until... I found out I was terminally ill. Then my passion became my desperation. Finding a way to keep the disease at bay.
[There are no loud emotions from him through all of this. His feelings are neutral, but in an artificial way. As if the neutrality is an overlay.
He offers the book to Dojima.]
Healing others was very fulfilling. It is what I always wanted to do with my inventions. To help those in need.
[ 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.

I see. I can't judge you. I did not have much time outside of healing those who came to me, or caring for them afterward in the collective.
I was an inventor before, so I suppose that would have been... not a hobby, a career.

[ there's some hesitance in his voice. his feelings are pretty evened out, but underneath there's some sort of uncertainty. ]

An ethical concern, perhaps? Although I don't understand what Hextech is, so disregard me if that's out of line.

...Well, there's no way for me to see the whole picture, so anything I'd say would just be baseless conjecture. Sorry.

So you all may return for your second chances.
