You are a kindred spirit that I didn't think possible to exist in the first place, Viktor. Intent and regret in like measure, with our mistakes and creations always hanging over our heads...
In that way... I know I don't have the answers to help you, no more than I have any answers to help myself. I am no more than a hypocrite, to say otherwise. And yet...
[He hesitates, almost as though he intends not to keep speaking. But his touch drops, from shoulders to wrists, to try and take Viktor's hands in his own.]
How... how desperately I wish to see you have more kindness towards yourself than I was ever able to find, my friend.
You have been given this beautiful, frightening chance at more time... and I ache for you to be able to accept it in whatever way you can. No matter how selfish, I want to see you fulfilled.
