He will show her instead. Well. She does not get to see the last part, but she can feel it. The sudden snap of someone's entire existence being ripped out of a collective.]
[ that was a bit violent. to think partners split like this.... she can see a divorce when she sees one... where viktor seems to want to reconcile after leaving(?). the details are fuzzy to her, but that was the implication she got from some of their words.
finally, she can see the hivemind in full. that does put a spin on perspective. it takes her a moment. ]
It looks like your thoughts on how Hextech should be used diverged. For something that combines both magic and science... I assume your government wanted to use it for a variety of things, right?
The city below Piltover, Zaun. Its people had started to uprise for its independence and against their oppression. Those in Piltover wanted to use Hextech to fight back.
But we did not make Hextech for it to be used as weapons.
Hextech was designed to help those in need, but when we created it, we had no intentions of prolonging life exactly. They were tools - powered gloves for miners, laser arms for artificers, things such as that.
Our side project, the Hexcore, is where we learned of the possibility of regeneration.
[He shakes his head uncertainly.]
I'm not sure. The hammer Jayce used to kill me was made from Hextech, but as far as I know, we hadn't made any weaponry for others. Now that I'm gone? I can't say.
I would still care. The end result is to maintain a world of peace, one without pain or suffering. Humanity gets in the way of reason. Failure is inescapable with it. No one can evolve beyond when emotions are there.
I am aware there are those here who do not agree with me.
[AAAAAA HIS PROBLEMS. The way she is the first one to say it like it is to him even though a few have gently called him out on it.]
I did, and I do. I tried, and what I tried failed because other people were controlled by their emotions. They brought war and suffering to the commune. They destroyed what was holding it together.
It would be a salvation. Everyone... together. As one. No conflicts. All thoughts shared. Everyone would be equal.
His sigh is not annoyed - it doesn't seem like he can emote very strongly, interestingly enough - but it is resigned perhaps.]
Yes, I have heard this already from Kiraman and Lailah. But you cannot have both. They cannot exist simultaneously. As I'm sure you've seen here, in this place called Heaven.
If the emotions are kept, then there will always be violence, and suffering, and pain.

No. He did not speak to me when he came to do it either.

What was your last conversation with him about?

[ there is clearly some context lacking. ]
Everything that can be used to help also has a possibility to harm. I think your ideal is nice, but I do wonder about the toll it's taken on you.

I don't think it has...?

Emotions are the blockade of progress toward a perfected state of being.
no subject
You would remove what made you care in the first place? Why you wanted to help?
no subject
I would still care. The end result is to maintain a world of peace, one without pain or suffering. Humanity gets in the way of reason. Failure is inescapable with it. No one can evolve beyond when emotions are there.
That is what I learned when Jayce killed me.
no subject
and it's what makes her ask: ]
Did what Jayce do to you break your heart?
no subject
I don't know what you mean...
[He does not want to feel the (metaphorical) hole in his chest where the scar of the (physical) hole is, thank you.]
Logically, it was an irrational, emotional choice. And in following it, the commune was likely destroyed.
no subject
If you take way emotions, you take away what you are trying to save, Viktor. Didn't you want to make things better for the people who were oppressed?
Taking away emotions is another form of oppression.

Is that not the final evolution for them?
no subject
No, it's not. You would destroy their individualism and what makes everyone so lovable. I don't think it's evolution.
It's reducing them. Maybe it would be peace, but it'd end in stagnation. You'd be taking all their vitality.

Oh, but it can. It make take thousands of years, but it does. At least, it has for my world.

Your world is free of the violence humans inflict on themselves through their emotions.
