"I'm not sure how I feel," Viktor admits. The haircut is new, the scars inexplicable, the peace welcome. He could do without the new memories, including a handful of things he wants to un-know. It both feels and doesn't feel like those things happened to him. Can he separate the bliss of what's come with it from the work he still has to do on himself? Not advised, Viktor figures. Dani smiles at him.
He's going to anyway. For now. Dani smiles at him ans he smiles back. Like his whole fucked up timeline, Viktor both is and isn't being seen for the first time. Each new affirmation is a dopamine rush people would pay a lot of money for. Here, in the welcome quiet of this odd little bookstore, sharing a piece of himself he didn't mean to and finding it well-received, it's even more marigold than morphine. And he does feel good, but he already said that.
Dani returns his confidence with her own, just a little. "Yeah?" Normally, Viktor might just remain quiet and allow the person space to share. Dani hasn't talked about much up until now. Maybe, she needs some affirming, too. "Do you want to talk about it?"
