"Misery," Viktor concludes after a few moments' thought. "I didn't know what it was, but I felt wrong." Couching all of the lies he told in barbs about Viktor being ordinary was a brilliant move on Hargreeves' part. It was the perfect party line, easy to toe -- and just the tip of the identity iceberg, it turns out.

Viktor has to laugh a little. "The old asshole didn't even know what he was suppressing." Not that he cared.

Anyway, Viktor has a life worth living, now. Five, too. And it's one Viktor doesn't want to be distracted from.
