[ The Jayce that appears on the video looks frustrated and flustered. He also looks like he's aged a little bit since everyone has seen him. There's also four finger-print shaped markers crowning his forehead. They look like they're starting to fade. He has the look of a man who is trying to keep it together, but is barely holding on. He lets out a shaky breath before he speaks again. ]

I thought — I should be.

[ His mind is spinning. ]

I forgot this place ignores death. I should be dead. I was good with that, too.

[ There's a laugh that does not come from a place of amusement. ]

No rest for me, then. [ A moment of hesitation and then - ] That's not why I'm here. Has anyone seen Viktor? I haven't seen him since I've arrived. But I have a feeling he's here.

[ His eyes seem to drift away. ]

I don't know what he'll look like. It might be different. Bigger, more - metal than he was before. [ He looks uncomfortable with this. ]

But it's him. Don't be alarmed. Just... send him home. Please.
