[Viktor struggles against the hold on his wrist, his own reflection shining back at him from the metallic body. A reflection that distorts into another face, that of Sky's, half disintegrated by the hexcore- being pulled into dust-
Unfamiliar magic hits the husk and Viktor's gloved hand. He's let go, but yells in pain as he feels a sharp, electric spark of energy arch and bounce beneath and through his skin. Beneath the cloth, his hand had been changed by the arcane and it reacts whenever magic of any kind if near. Sends a current of purple energy down his arm, his torso, through the column of his leg, making it buckle beneath him. Viktor hits the ground beside the dropped key fob and despite being bleary from the magical blowback, reaches out to grasp it tight in his still human hand.
He looks up again and at least the husk cannot reach him. It struggles against it's restraints, but ultimately loses will to fight. The twisted reflection fades... and Viktor wonders if Akechi could see it or if it was a mere figment of his haunted conscious.]
