Oh wow. No ... in Piltover at least at the academy they really underline that scientists should have an ethos, to not do any harm and only seek out progress for the best of reasons. I mean, obviously we're imperfect and not everyone does it exactly right, but that's what we all agree to when we study there.
[ Heimerdinger may have his flaws, but he did set up a very strict code of ethics and while Jayce and he don't see eye to eye on everything, he did set the stage for the academics in Piltover to be careful. Jayce and Viktor were the rare exception of going outside of what Heimerdinger considered acceptable, and he only barely allowed them, until the Hexcore. ]
On the other hand, the person who insisted on that ethos, Professor Heimerdinger, our mentor, he also has the pride problem. He's three hundred years old and I'm not sure he thinks he's capable of making mistakes.
[ Jayce wonders if he thinks he can now. If he only sees what happened between them as Jayce making mistakes, and takes none of that onto himself. He wishes he beliveed that his mentor could do that, but it only just happened. He had a long time to change his mind. He still doesn't think it sounds similar to what Wanda is saying, he would never allow discoveries to be involved in a war. That at least he's sure of.
Jayce having just made a weapon with their tech, and seen the aftermath of a very bad choice, is all about owning his mistakes. He has a list of them that he reminds himself of regularly.
He shakes his head and crosses his own arms. ]
I'm on it, and there's another medical student I met here, maybe we can figure it out. But if I'm being honest Wanda.
[ Jayce pauses to think through what he wants to say. It's always jumping through hoops where Viktor is concerned. ]
Maybe having multiple friends will convince him that people care about him and he'll take better care of himself. A man can dream. I've been fighting him on the issue for seven years, it would be nice to have some back up.
