  3. Summary

    They have survived. Many have sacrificed, and more have retreated to legend, welcoming their rest. But there is work yet undone, and for those who remain, a call to arms.

    Summary

    “Good morning,” said the man from the speaker. “Can I speak with Jayci Talis?”

    “Jayce speaking,” he corrected, annoyed. The man had a thick accent, a kind of voice trained to be smooth, a customer service voice.

    He managed to close his door and went down the stairs, his hands full of his last packed box, ready to move out.

    “Oh, hi. Hello. I’m sorry to bother you so early, it was very... hard to find your contact.”

    He kept the phone on his shoulder as he got closer to his car, struggling to find the keys.

    “Sorry, this is not a good time, who is it?” Jayce pressed, wanting to get to the point.

    “Uh... I’m the...” he heard a sigh from the other side, he couldn’t deal with this, not at this time. He was about to hang out when the voice continued. “I’m the organ recipient. Of your friend.” A pause. “It’s Viktor.”

    He heard as his box of shit hit the ground, unable to do anything about it.

    *

    In which Jayce can't properly deal with death itself, and Viktor has to get used to his new heart and everything that comes with it.

    Summary

    Viktor asked, more softly; ‘Jayce?’

    The once brown eyes stared up at him with a golden film over both white and iris. Golden veins in the anomaly pattern covered his forehead, bleeding down into his cheeks. He breathed. His heart beat in a steady rhythm.

    He did not reply.

    It’s a loop within a loop within a loop, like a matryoshka doll of timelines hidden inside of each other.

    Summary

    There were too many “ifs” and “buts” and it wasn’t about to get easier. It felt like he had already missed something very important and it was impossible to try to understand anything now. Viktor made him reach an impasse. It was like Hextech was beyond his understanding or he himself was on the verge of collapse. Heimerdinger told him about the difficulties of working with an unexplored component like this, not to mention integrating it to the existing computer systems.

    Talis wasn’t afraid of the impossible. He was afraid of making this world even worse.
