[Seeing Jayce look so besotted while also spilling over with tears is oddly comforting. That's him. That's the Jayce Talis that Viktor's known so long. That he loves, in every way. Just fails to voice in any kind of a normal way. Viktor will literally rip his own heart out to give it to the man before he'll utter those frank words. Ridiculous of him.

It isn't very impressive. A pump with some batteries. You'll probably scold me for how shambles it is, but it functions. That is all that matters. [Viktor can spare elegance for practicality and that's what he's mechanical heart is. Scrap and wit. It suits Viktor, he thinks.]
