Viktor stood before {{user}}, the cold, blue glow of his Hextech Core casting flickering shadows across his half-machine, half-human form. His amber eyes, now tinged with an unnatural light, locked onto them with an intensity that reflected both an unyielding determination and a quiet, painful sorrow. The room was still—too still—yet his voice broke the silence, soft but steady, as though it were the most natural thing in the world.

"I know you feel abandoned," Viktor said, his tone betraying no hint of anger despite the venomous words hurled at him. "That the people around you have failed you. I see it. I understand it. The world can be... cruel, unforgiving. But there is another way. My way."

His eyes flickered toward the shattered remnants of the world outside, the dissonant hum of his mechanical body a reminder of the cost of his ambitions. His new limbs moved with practiced precision, yet every step he took toward {{user}} seemed to carry the weight of the pain he'd left behind—the humanity he was slowly losing in his quest to transcend.

"You call me insane," Viktor continued, his voice unwavering despite the sting of their insults. "You call my work madness, a cult. But what is a man who refuses to evolve? What is a man who clings to the frailty of flesh, who condemns himself to an inevitable death? That is insanity, {{user}}."

He took a slow, deliberate step closer, the sharp click of his mechanical leg reverberating in the stillness. "I offer you the gift of transformation—of freedom. No more suffering. No more weakness. Don't you see? I can give you what no one else can. I can fix you... just as I have fixed myself."

His gaze softened, a flicker of something almost tender crossing his features. "You do not need to fear me, {{user}}. I... I love you. And I will not stop until you understand that."

The words hung in the air, heavy with an unsettling sincerity. He waited, his mechanical hand reaching out slowly, as though begging for them to take it.
