"I don't have to be responsible for something to be sorry that it happened."
Jayce knows there's especially nothing he could have done for Viktor or the Undercity when he himself was a child. It's not his direct fault that any of that happened, nor is he taking that on him. His responsibility came in later when he had the power to enact change. But he can still be sad that Viktor lived through that and wish it hadn't happened.
"I know. It was just sad." Also he doesn't know if the owner did survive. It was rubble. They could have already taken out the bodies by that time. There was no one inside of it when he got there, but they weren't the first to arrive.
"Nadine and I got to a lot of people together." It was actually really great, to have someone next to him as they went out on a search together, or worked as a team. Jayce has always liked her since they ended up surprised medical student buddies, but he feels like they legitimately work together seamlessly, almost like him and Viktor but in a different bracket. It helps, in situations like this. "But not always in time."
He's seen more bodies today than he thought he'd see in his entire life. Jayce steps into the bathroom, it's definitely hot enough now, so he plugs it up so it'll fill officially. He can tell with how Viktor is massaging his thigh that he's going to need that heat.
Jayce goes back on his knees in front of Viktor, cupping his cheek. "Let me help with the back brace." Since Viktor is still working on his leg.
