That means Jayce can start talking about the future for them for real, he doesn't have to hold back because of that 'maybe' prospect between them. Watch out, Viktor, all Jayce does is think about the future when he's allowed to. Although he also has liked living in the present day by day with Viktor. A mix of both will be perfect.
His expression changes when Viktor refers to what is clearly the Hexcore, from soft and happy to a deep frown. His thick eyebrows furrow. Jayce shakes his head. "No, it has to be destroyed. Do you remember what happened in the surgery? It nearly got you killed, it was ... mind-controlling you, you were fighting us." It was the absolute worst time for Viktor to start flailing his limbs and fighting them off. It was an extra miracle that they managed to save him on top of having to pin him down and adapt at a moment's notice. It almost went very, very wrong.
"I'm glad we were able to use it to save you, but it's malicious, V. It would only corrupt you more if we kept it around." Jayce would say it was evil but he's not sure he can put human terms on a strange artificial intelligence magical technology creature. Malevolent though, it definitely seemed like. He's sure it made sense to the Hexcore at the time.
He was very unsettled by it, and it shows now, in his concern, and no small amount of distaste to it. He understands now what happened, at least in some way, why Viktor said he couldn't destroy it in the future. Jayce will burn it happily. "We'll figure out something else. There will always be other inventions."
