Viktor suddenly trails off. His smile dies off a strangely sudden death, so to speak. Viktor, he, well, almost winces or more, staring at his hand, gloved. Only one of his hands is in a glove.
For twenty seconds, no, for even more time, he accidentally absolved himself - no - almost forgot--- who he was, now - what he was--

"There's no version of me that's good," Viktor utters, suddenly. "In a pursuit of life, I've caused a death of an innocent woman - intelligent assistant with dreams of her own - and with her such innocent unrequited love--- I chased greatness, like a dog chasing its own tail, I chased the Sun, instead of deciding on reaching..."

"...Sky... she suffered for my hubris and--"

Ahh.

Viktor turns away and would shrink now if he was able.

"At least I shall serve the life sentence right, now, soon. Mother Nature, what a good executioner. I must tell my Partner next time I see him that I'm a coldblooded murderer. If I don't tell him, my timely death will break his heart a little. Anybody's so close would, he's just a kind, good, sensitive individual. With a hubris of his own, but no blood on his strong hands. Yes, I must tell Jayce that I caused Sky to desintegrate. Otherwise, I'm secretly soon making House Talis mourn an undeserving of it accidental killer."

"Disgusting."

A concerned Shuppet suddenly hovers above its Poke trainer.

"Go, Jayjay. You can't make this about your cuteness. Go to your ball. I will feed you later. Surely that's all you might want of me. Tell Heimer and Young to go away, too. You don't want my company."

Shuppet named Jay tries to pull at Viktor's hair.

"Go away, J. I'm thinking," Viktor utters.
