No.

[He'd been ready to die, and upon awakening had been angry with Jayce, for taking that choice away from him. Viktor knows that the time passed in the dream was only an illusion, but it felt like months, long enough for him to come to terms with everything.]

But had been my original intention. [To fully transmute himself.] I cannot blame him, for doing what he did.

[ Ciri nods once, slowly. ]

I know. He wanted to save your life.

[ Her smile is barely there, more in her eyes than the curve of her lips. Viktor is being so matter-of-fact. He has that way about him.

Ciri meets his eyes. ]

I'm glad you got to see him again. Even if it wasn't here.

[ She has never experienced these 'dreams' herself, so she can only imagine what it must feel like. But she knows how the look in Geralt's eyes changed once he really, truly remembered her. That was real. ]

...what did you do? After that?

[techmaturgy]

It worked. But I couldn't stay.

[Not with the precarious state of the two cities and not when Jayce had made more Hextech weapons. However either of them felt about it, if Viktor had remained in Piltover he would have been destroyed, or used as a weapon himself. His transgressions with the Hexcore had always marked the end of their partnership, one way or another.

Still, with his memories of this place returned to him, he can say he was glad to see him again.]

I went to the Undercity. I thought I could...help, there. With my new abilities. More than I could in Piltover.

[wiedzminka]

[ There is a short pause. She waits a beat, as he seems to be getting his thoughts in order.

Ciri presses her lips together. The smile is gone. ]

...why do I get the feeling you're not about to share good news?

What happened, Viktor? You can tell me.

[techmaturgy]

Well, it's--

[Viktor feels neutral about it, which is strange he didn't really experience this, as vivid as it felt--and no time has passed here.

But it felt real, and he knows he has access to his magic. It's only right that he's honest with his friends about the visions.]

It's similar. To the imagined centuries.
