[Sometimes you gamble and you lose, and you have to face the consequences. But this isn't normal circumstances. Viktor is never a normal circumstance.]

But Viktor is tied to too many important things. Every apocalypse you've been through goes back to Viktor in some way. I think it's your choice, and maybe not is the smarter choice, but if you're going to, I'd take the one where you get the context even if you don't have the feelings.
