[Viktor studies Wilhelm's face for a moment, knowing that he doesn't need his approval but searching for it anyway. If what he just dreamed of comes to pass, even in any universe, he does not deserve this happiness.

He will take it for himself, anyway, because he is only human. Viktor wants Kyle to be happy, too, and Kyle has made it clear where he wants to be. They can keep each other, for a little while longer.]

Would you leave here, if you could?

[The difference is that Wilhelm always thought he deserved happiness; he just felt like it would always be out of his reach. Now that he's got it, cupped carefully in his hands, he never wants to let it go. The turn of his head is decisive.]

I don't know where I'd go. My home is in this world.

[In Thorne, despite all its flaws. These days, the concept of home is rooted more in a who than a where. Traveling is fun — exploring new places, seeing new landscapes, trying new things. But coming back to what's familiar is better.]

Then, I hope you get to stay.

[That's what all this is about--making sure every Summoned has a choice, whether to leave or remain. Lately it's been feeling like their existence in Abraxas is somewhat tenuous, with the Singularity's behavior, but it isn't bad to hope. To wonder if a real life can be made here for them, without the threat of vanishing.]
