[ It's jarring for Jayce, every so often, to hear him say he instead of I, but that's his own problem - his inability to separate this version from his own (or maybe his desire for this version back). In any case - Viktor's right, he knows. He's been avoiding the details for this very reason - of course any version of Viktor would want to puzzle out what went wrong, any version of the two of them would do this.
And Jayce can't say he wouldn't be tempted the same, eventually, if they went down that path - even with everything he's seen (and promised).
He stares at Viktor's notes, shaking his head again. ]
Whatever you're imagining - it was worse. We didn't -
[We didn't know. His face has gone a shade paler as he relives that trek to the hexgate. ]
It... it infected everything. There was no more Piltover, no more Zaun, no more people... only - husks.
