[After everything, Viktor is content to hole up in his workshop. Perhaps this is unsurprising, but there's physical recovery to be had as well. Despite the hallucinatory nature of the experience, all of it felt real, and finding himself back in his original body has ben an adjustment, to say the least. He's not sure how to face his friends--he's not sure how to face himself, after everything he did. Viktor isn't even certain that he disliked what he became.
So, as always, it's easier to work. Let people seek him out, if they want to talk about what happened. After a few days, Viktor re-opens, but doesn't otherwise invite anyone inside. Ciri will simply find that the door is unlocked, when she attempts to let herself in. It's a moment before he responds, as if he's resigning himself to this.]
In here.
[Said as if the laboratory is more than one large open space--Viktor is just tucked behind some machinery, hunched over one of this worktables.]
