Jayce certainly benefited from Piltover's oppression of Zaun, but he wasn't singularly responsible for Viktor's rough childhood. Viktor is quick to dismiss that sentiment outright, mostly because he would rather focus on the mundane task of undoing the metal buckles around his leg and not think about anything at all. Jayce moving around him, opening cabinets and setting water down on the table for him which he forces himself to drink. It doesn't get rid of the cough, but he probably needs it, regardless.
He releases the uppermost straps of his leg brace and digs his thumbs into his thigh, squeezing his eyes shut, wincing, and trying to rub away some of the pain. Viktor doesn't regret going to Libertas, but he might be starting to think that pushing himself so hard was a mistake. He should know better.
"Places can be rebuilt." Leave it to Jayce to be so sentimental--to take something like that so personally. Viktor is choosing not to concern himself with damaged property, not when the lives that were taken are more important. "There will be other cafes."
