We ran into a monster first. It was... rotted and shadowy. Lucien ran in to attack it, but then... it... It looked like Jayce, and I... don't know, it just was so real. I ran in. It threw up this stuff on both of us that poisoned us. I was some kind of--I dont know, arcane user. But I had a hard time controlling it.

I think I attacked Lucien accidentally more than the monster, but we managed to kill it. Then the forest... There was a voice. It just kept... telling me Lucien was a traitor, that he was going to kill me. And I tried attacking him, but he was stronger. He broke my arm, and then I electrocuted him.

Viktor is very much never feeling well, yeah, but that's the thing about chronic illness and also chronic mental health problems. Life keeps going, and so you are just dragged along behind by the throat.
He closes his eyes, leans into the kiss not for it so much as the support of Sidon's head.]
