Summary
The hammer clattered to the floor with a noise that reverberated off the shining walls, glitching and sparking angrily at the edge of his vision. Jayce couldn’t think about it, couldn’t think about the mage, the future, every broken promise piling onto his back like a ton of rubble. He reached out, blindly, finding the hem of Viktor’s robe and pulling him closer, until he could press his face against him. The hand on his shoulder didn’t shift.
“I’m sorry,” Jayce gasped, not knowing who he was apologising to.
“I forgive you,” Viktor said, as if it was that simple.
After killing Salo in the Hexgate chamber, Jayce finds his way to Viktor's commune with a singular goal in mind. He falls at the first hurdle, and spends the days that follow desperately trying to work up the resolve to do what needs to be done.

Summary
“It’s… hard to imagine,” Jayce said, voice coming out hoarse. “I don’t think our brains are meant to comprehend that kind of time scale.”
“I can see why you think that. Your mind is still… limited. Once we see the world in the same light, we will be able to reshape reality as we wish.”
Jayce couldn’t help but laugh. “Sounds like you’re planning to make me a god of your new world.”
Viktor smiled slightly. “Something along those lines.”
During a bloodless visit to Viktor's commune, a moment of weakness in the greenhouse threatens to shatter the last of Jayce's determination to keep his promise.
