    Summary

    And so Jayce Talis has crawled out of the depths of the Undercity and through the ruins of Piltover and found himself a second chance. There has only been one person on his mind. One that he wishes he could go back to, even if it changes nothing. 


    His entire train of thought derails as the stranger lifts his head. Short, sharp exhales make little clouds of vapor puff from his lips. His fingers, blackened with dirt and wrapped with shreds of his own clothing, curl into a fist around the haft of his weapon, leaning against it to support his own weight. It’s the eyes that drive the air from Viktor’s lungs.

    He knows those eyes.

    He knows that face.

    “Jayce?”

    At the sound of his own name, Jayce recoils. His teeth grit together as he grabs his head to turn himself away, breaking the hold of his stare. The intensity of it lingers though. Like the bright flash of a camera. The look on his face stains itself to the forefront of Viktor’s mind. He looked like… almost like an animal.

    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    Summary

    The gesture of love shared among Zaunites was simple yet profound: pressing their foreheads together. For Viktor, this act had become a silent custom, a way to express everything words could not to the man he loved, until it was Jayce's turn to unite their foreheads... and in that moment, fear and everything else vanished.

    There is no memory, no nostalgia; only a constant expansion, an infinite horizon of possibilities unfolding in all directions.
