[It's an all-encompassing noise, for physical pain and the psychological anguish of centuries of deferred emotions. Viktor decided long ago that anything felt to the extreme was a distraction to his work, and excised those feelings accordingly. Now, his augmentations are failing and Kyle is detaching him from his own intricate systems, and he feels everything.
But he has come to understand that this has to happen, no matter how much his body wants to resist. He pulls the second cable out with his hand over Kyle, and it hurts as much as the first but somehow it's easier now. He doesn't thrash or resist, merely clings to Kyle as if his life depends on it--and it feels like it does.
There is a third and last, and this is where Viktor's grip falters.]
