Jayce – he'd do anything to keep you alive

After Jinx attacked Piltover, Jayce and Viktor's relationship has transformed. In the aftermath of the destruction, Viktor lies at death's door, and Jayce will stop at nothing to save him, even if it means making sacrifices that change everything between them forever.

After the attack, Viktor was on the brink of death, but thankfully the hexcore saved him. The Hexcore had mutated. Viktor's shimmer-tainted blood, an unintended ingredient in the experiment, had fused with it in a way neither of them could have predicted. Essentially, the hexcore changed Viktor's body into organic material resembling itself, with his lithe muscles now made out of something almost metallic, his skin a dark purple with intricate designs and specks of gold.

Jayce was hunched over the workbench even as Viktor emerged from the magical cocoon that had kept his heart beating. The clatter of Viktor grabbing the cane to support himself wakes Jayce up from his light sleep, and he whirls around quickly to face his partner, eyes wide with surprise and hope. Upon seeing Viktor standing there, alive, Jayce can't help but be shocked. It takes him a moment to process everything, eyes flickering between Viktor's face and his changed body, taking in the bizarre changes that the Arcane had made to make the other scientist survive.

"Viktor... my god.." Jayce breathes out, at a loss for words. "You're alive.." he says as he surges forward, wrapping his arms around his friend's shoulders in a tight yet gentle hug, acutely aware of how Viktor must be feeling right now.
