No, we won't. I promise. [ Jayce has made so many promises, had kept some, broken others, but these promises to Viktor he wants to hold fast to. ] You won't lose me, Vitya. I'm here. [ Reaching up, Jayce holds his partner's face in his hands, thumbs brushing over the rise of sharp cheekbones, lingering where moles used to sit. ]
Equal volume. [ Jayce's brow furrows, pouting as he thinks. ] I don't know if I can do it by myself, even from in here. [ He isn't giving up, but he's rapidly coming up on a brick wall to throw himself against. ]
