[It's perhaps ungenerous, to think that Kyle wouldn't understand the particular brand of devastation he's feeling right now, but the more selfish part of Viktor (the part that only wanted to live) wants to believe that this feeling is uniquely his. If he is not able to work, for fear of the government co-opting more of his theories for violent ends, then what can he do? What worth does he have?
He pulls away from Kyle slowly, not because he doesn't want the embrace, but because it's becoming increasingly unbearable, to stand here in the middle of the temple and confess his wrongdoings. Viktor knows the little room is just through a doorway, but that doesn't feel right either, so he searches for somewhere in the main room to sit.]
I don't know.
[There's nothing that can make this right that doesn't involve going back in time and redoing a crucial series of decisions. All he can do now is try and fix things, even if it seems impossible. Now that the government can break through Thorne's wards, they won't stop. Viktor can only hope it will be over quickly.]

This can't be undone.
