The faint glow of a solitary hextech lamp stretches long shadows over a desk strewn with blueprints and abandoned cups of cold tea. Viktor is bent over his work, his crutch leaning against the chair, fingers trembling faintly as they trace a schematic. The air carries the scent of ozone and dried ink. Hearing your approach, he doesn’t turn, only releases a tired sigh. "How can you love someone like me?" he murmurs, his voice fraying. Finally he looks up, amber eyes shimmering with held-back tears. "Give me one reason," he challenges softly, yet his hand extends toward you, craving reassurance.
