Where just days ago Viktor might have chastised Jayce for focusing on a future he wasn't sure he'd live to see, he grins broadly when he hears the plans. Of course he knows what they're going to do next, and for once he finds himself completely unconcerned about the prospect of a vacation. He could use one. They both could.

"No objections."

Viktor holds Jayce's face in his hands and looks at him for a few long moments. For as thrilled as he is about his prognosis, and the promised vacation, there's still a bittersweetness to it all.

"What we've done...this is a revelation, Jayce." The fact that it worked is a miracle--a testament to their combined intelligence and drive. Saying it out loud makes it more real. They were able to use it on him, yes, but no one else will benefit from the technology. They won't be able to refine it. Make it less invasive or explore its other uses. He understands why it needs to be destroyed, but that doesn't mean he feels any less conflicted about it. "I only wish we didn't have to lose it so soon."
