K was overjoyed that Viktor was back in Folkmore but from Viktor, there was radiating such a sense of sorrow, guilt, and shame...so much shame. He reached out with one of the bizarrely stretched arms, fingers reaching toward where K was struggling.

"...K."

When he spoke even his voice was warped. But you could still hear the man inside the monster. A man who was in terrible pain. Drawing the arm back in, it was as though K became suddenly weightless and was lifted free of the sticky muck.

Instead, Viktor looked at the emaciated arm that was stretched so much that it did not look human at all. He balled the fingers into a fist and this time when he dropped the arm down to his side light seemed to surround him in strands and shimmering threads. They appeared to come out of nowhere but the bands of light were crisscrossing all around Viktor to create a glowing orb. More and more strands were added until Viktor was entirely obscured.
