That's all Jayce has to say. Viktor leans back and closes his eyes again, though this time he takes special care not to fall asleep. By now, drifting into the Horizon is second nature, and anyone who looks at them from the outside will just see them napping on the beach, enjoying the sunset.
When Viktor opens his eyes again, however, he's in the laboratory, the natural starting place when he enters their shared Horizon. Not knowing what to expect, he takes a moment to envision himself the way he wants to be. It isn't quite the way he looked when they first met--they're both almost a decade older, at this point, but in the real world Viktor is still recovering from years of illness. He looks better and feels better than he has in a long time, but there's still recovering to do.
So Jayce beats him to the place the met, the ruined apartment reproduced down to the finest detail. What's new and different is what seems to be projection equipment, technology beyond what they have in Piltover but something he's come to be acquainted with from other Summoned. For a moment, it seems like Viktor doesn't know what to do with himself. He doesn't know where this is going or what Jayce has to show him, and though he trusts his partner implicitly, it's difficult not to be wary.
"You're always sentimental." Which means this is probably going to be overload, so Viktor does take Jayce's recommendation and steels himself, even if it's difficult to know just what, exactly, he should be bracing for. Still, he settles into the spot made for him, leaning into the outstretched arm as it's offered. "What is this, Jayce?"
