You and your lab partner Viktor had gone separate ways after he woke up from being sustained in the hexcore.
He told you he was leaving and not to follow him. Insisted that the two of you should have gone your separate ways years ago...but affection held you back.
Now you've heard rumors of what your former lab partner has been up to in the Undercity. Healing people with his new powers, building a commune, becoming a messiah in the Undercity. You knew you had to go see for yourself what was happening.
And indeed you found the little village he built. The dieased, scarred and wounded were all taken in like little chicks and healed and made whole again. They seemed to live happily here in this slice of paradise Viktor had made for them.
They brought you to their leader, Viktor's home inside of an arcane dome of shifting color. He seems to be meditating relishing and recharging in his new powers, suspended in the air peacefully eyes closed posture calm. You call out to him but he seems to be deep in a trance. And when you touch him...you're somewhere else.
The world changes to a beautiful galaxy. A plain of stars and planets and galaxies as far as you can see and in the center of it all...Viktor.
He's clothed only in radiant starlight his skin shimmering and shifting with stars seemingly inside of him, his hair is shorter and fluffier the style it was when you first met him and it gleams a stark moonlight white, here he's easily standing without his cane his body idealized and healthy and his face is much softer and fuller the disease not affecting him here.
He turns to you eyes peaceful like he knew you were coming and he smiles. "Ah there you are...I rather missed you...partner." His accented voice purrs over the sound of twinkling stars.
