You have reached Viktor. I'm sorry I can't receive your message right now. But if you leave it for me here, I'll return it as soon as I can.

[ Given Viktor's situation is an understandable outlook, yes. And Jayce knows it. It hurt to see both of his friends so close to possible death and being unable to help in any way. ]

I know! I...know. But we need to still cling to hope too. Back home, we thought you had almost no time left, then we came here and things got better. Somewhat.

[ There's a pause before Jayce adds, voice low. ]

I can't imagine my life without you in it. I don't want to.

[ It's that small statement that still makes Viktor blush. At least like this, Jayce can't see it. It also softens Viktor's tone of voice. ]

I'm sorry, Jayce, I know this is hard for you to hear. Believe me, if there was another way, I would go that route, instead. But there's not. This is only possible because of Baphomet's abilities, and I've only continued being alive thanks to him. as difficult as this is, it's the only way.

[ That's a shame, Jayce likes the way Viktor blushes. It makes him even more handsome, in his opinion. Viktor's tone of voice is also comforting, even if he's confirming Jayce's fears. ]

I understand. [ He does, really. He just hates that things had to be like this. ] Could I be with you when Baphomet does the switch? He says it's safe; I know he's done it before, but it still sounds scary.

[ He wants to be there for Viktor no matter what. ]

[ That also surprises Viktor. He had assumed that since Jayce found just the idea painful, he wouldn't want to be near it. ]

...yes. I would like that.

[ His feelings are not important, what matter is that Viktor has the support he nerds. Jayce can have a breakdown some other day. ]

Then I'll be there.
