1/4: caught between jayce and viktor's hands, the anomaly spits out arcane trails text reads: "The heart of science is observation and iteration but perhaps it would have cost the world less if we were better at letting go-"
2/4: jayce bows his head over viktor's crutch against a stark black backgroud, while viktor's transformed arm reaches out from the hexcocoon; on the reverse, mage viktor rests a gentle hand on evolved jayce's arm, still clutching the hammer against a wasted white sky text reads: "if I hadn't been made into a DEITY/DEVOTEE capable of ERASING/SURVIVING anything except your absence."
3/4: an impossible sequence of events refracts across time: mage viktor's hand drops the rune into jayce's waiting palms becomes jayce reaching for his runestone bracelet from viktor's open hand becomes the arcane herald's fingertips resting on survivor jayce's forehead becomes this final moment--jayce placing the acceleration rune in viktor's hand text reads: "infinite recursions of annihilation and salvation, all to prove the first hypothesis true:"
4/4: they hold each other close at the end of all things. text reads: "there never could be any me without you."
