[IT'S TRUE. HE'S CLOSED SO TIGHT. HE NEEDS TO BE LOOSENED. GIVE US A GIRL WHO CAN LOOSEN HIM. Or Scien who can bully him, I guess.]
I... don't know. It's science, right? There has to be more than one outcome usually, but... It was work we had done, it was... something new and amazing. I wanted to see what it could do.
I just... didn't account for... other people getting involved in my research.
[No he gets even worse when he loves you that's his entire character arc]
Yeah. I know you wouldn't have wanted anyone getting hurt. [Except YOURSELF, FOOL...
He looks like he's choosing his words carefully--which, honestly, is less of a sign of Luke's kindness than it is evidence that he likes Viktor, because this whole thing is so... complicated for him, in such a personal way. Viktor's intentions were better than those of the people who unleashed Flora X on unsuspecting victims, and Luke believes him when he says he'd intended to keep the risks contained to himself--but Luke is too personally affected by dangerous experiments to be truly supportive and sympathetic.]
...It's hard to make advancements without hurting people. Especially when it comes to medicine. There are some things that have saved countless lives that we never would've discovered without taking dangerous risks. [He'll acknowledge that first. The only reason he's still alive (well, "alive") is because of those advancements. He knows full well that had he been born in a different time, he never would've made it out of the hospital to begin with.] And you deserve to look for answers for yourself. There's nothing wrong with fighting to survive, and that sort of power--I can understand why you wouldn't want to leave it untouched.
[...]
...But I don't see anything good coming from that thing. [This is the nicest way he can say "don't be a fucking idiot."] So, I think... if there's another option, then you should take it.

BUT TRULY THOUGH WHY ARE THEY ALL THE SAME FUCKING PEOPLE. This is why you're all Luke's water bottles even if you exhaust him (*hypocritical).
He's quiet for a minute.]
Are you sure that Core is the only way?
