[Viktor shifts a bit to glance back at Shoma. He isn't a theoretical science sort of guy, but he understands what it means. He thinks it could very well be true.]
I'm not sure if I want... a few minutes worth of knowing my death is imminent.
[This may or may not be (a truck drives by).]
The council room is in a high Piltover tower. Even if I were to run away... I'm sure most of us inside aren't going to make it. That is just the way of the world sometimes, I guess.
[ for him, he thinks it's possible that maybe going back a few minutes early would at least give him time to devise a plan to escape. but it's also entirely possible the man's already dead, which...isn't great. ]
...then I guess another option is to not go back if it's the end anyway. But it's hard to think about that, too.
[Shoma is really going through it for him for no reason. He is... both surprised, confused, and touched some random kid would be worried about his fate.]
Stay here? I would say I don't think it's nice to leave my partner without half of the Hextech work force, but... if we're both in the room and are going to die anyway. What a sad day for Piltover.
[ sometimes, despite being the way you are, you do care about people who've been nice when it sounds like their fate sucks... ]
That's sort of my point. Not to say you should just give up, but I don't think anyone else would blame a person for wanting more time if that's something they thought they'd want.

Well... We just found ourselves here, so... I'll keep it in mind. There's quite a bit for us to figure out here first.
