[He is racing (""racing"") through the observation deck afte dinging up on the elevator.
The vibe and the look is he is going somewhere, but he has to double-take at Scien and veer off course.]
Mr. Scien!
[WHAT IS THE DAMAGE HERE]

Mr. Scien!
[WHAT IS THE DAMAGE HERE]
[there's so much damage bECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE HIS FUCKING ASSISTANT AWAYYYY scien looks like a fucking mess because of course he does. hair down, clothes rumpled, expression harried even though we all just fucking woke up. truly a pet hamster left to fend for himself.
the emotions are bad!! they still aren't true emotions, almost manufactured versions of them, but they swirl and linger. bewilderment, dissatisfaction, frustration - but it all pales in comparison to this odd, uncharacteristic anger. it grows and grows inside of him before it suddenly stalls. stops. disappears. and then just starts to build all over again.]
State your business. If you have a lead, share it.
[where are you going]

Were you both together?

[The absolute state of Scien physically tells him this is a Lie. The caretaker has abandoned ship, LEAVING A MESS.]
It takes much more than anything you have to earn my pity. But I do have sympathy for a loss.
[He frowns.]
... [LUKE WHY DID YOU RIKU IT.] About seven of us were locked in the bathroom, yes.

Sidon, yes.
[SCIEN, HE HAS A NAME. Why are you like this. WHERE IS DAHUT, BRING HIM BACK. His ass better sit up tomorrow, Viktor will NOT be left with this man trying to do weird blood work and nanite science together without a buffer.]
...Actually, yes. For some reason.

[He pauses to reach up and rub the socket of his eyes with a few of his fingers, confusion radiating out from him.
He realizes now how bizarre this is to feel in the midst of everything. HELLO.]
Yes... Why? Do you also?
[Nanami?]

[Viktor is wondering if this dude worked as much as Dahut had to do everything.........]
Perhaps you should.
[IS THIS THE WEIRD VACATION NEED TALKING?]
Why would we only be the ones experiencing such a thing?

True, but it doesn't necessarily mean there aren't answers we can find.
[This is not a critique, it is an offer of optimism even if Scien won't look at it.]
I owe that to Dahut and Luke at least. To find them.

[As if we wouldn't let a murderer check the body of their own victim.
There are like real surreal vibes from him. SCIEN JUST SAYS THIS SO CASUALLY BUT IT'S LIKE... SOME PEOPLE ARE DEAD! He's numb.]
Are you alright with that?
[This is a stupid question he knows.]

[WELL, SCIEN SAID TO TALK TO HIM AFTER......... Me already knowing long ago.....
Anyhow, after a while, Viktor trudges in like a tired fucking old man. Scien reset, BUT LIKE... MAKING SURE SCIEN IS STILL RESET.]

[HELPPPPP SORRY ANNAPI

[NOT THE LOS(t)S
After a few moments, he gets closer without being so close he'll dump a load of feels on top of Scien. Sorry, he's paranoid as shit.]
Scien. It's Viktor.

[He pauses for a long moment or two. The questioning may not be the one Scien is expecting exactly.]
I want to know how you beat death.
[He pauses for a long moment or two. The questioning may not be the one Scien is expecting exactly.]
I want to know how you beat death.
I am going to look at the heart.
[He will just be honest and blunt.]
I'd rather the information come directly from you instead. I'm not looking for a blueprint. I want to know how.

[Yes, that's what he thought. He turns his whole head away, hesitating, like he's contemplating. He's quiet for a long time, drawing the nerve.
Finally, he looks back.]
Because I'm dying. Because... I... hurt someone while trying to find a way to live. Someone who didn't deserve it. If there was a less dangerous way, I want to know how.

[he sits up, watching him. appraising, and judgmental.]
And what will you do?
Revive yourself every time that you are on the brink of death, granting yourself immortality? Run from death all your days because you feel as though you will never have time enough?
