    Summary

    In the reflection of the puddle is the boy that’s too young to be a topside cashier he briefly interacted with at the parts shop, now following Jayce from above. The kid didn't want be noticed, evident when he hurriedly scrambles back on the roof, out of view of the puddle’s reflection.

    Jayce makes a loud show of marching to the building the kid is on, and sets his box full of illegal parts down with a clatter. “Did I not give you enough to eat already, kiddo?”

     

    Or: Jayce notices when Ekko is tailing him back to his apartment in episode one. This changes everything.

    Summary

    “This is wrong,” Jayce rasped, his voice strained with torment, so unlike the Jayce that had left mere hours ago to dance and drink and make merry and maybe even make love to the beautiful Mel Medarda. “This is too far back, I shouldn’t be here—”

    This Jayce was like a wild animal, bearded and shaggy, furious and heartbroken.

    The huge weapon thudded to the floor once again, and Viktor finally dared to speak.

    “Jayce, is that… you?”

    Stewing in his loneliness, research assistant Viktor witnesses an Anomaly take place in the laboratory he shares with Jayce Talis, potentially altering life as they know it (or might never come to know).

    Summary

    The Department of Engineering was haunted – whether it was a ghost, a demon or a very very grumpy associate professor, there was something or someone there.

    Unattended uncompleted equations on the board would get corrected, sometimes solved if magnanimous, other times completely revamped and revisited – lines sharp on the blackboard from too rough fingers abusing on chalk, as if the Phantom was furious and disappointed on what the poor associate professor was working on.
    If someone was courageous enough to leave their research paper unattended, the Phantom would review it and correct it and leave it where it was. It was the easiest, free-of-charge peer-review students could get, if they were brave enough to endure the scathing remarks the Phantom sometimes left.

    No one could escape the Phantom’s caustic commentary.

    No one, except Jayce Talis.

    or; imagine the Academy has a weirdo appearing at night to correct research papers and call everyone ignorant except YOU and it is driving you crazy.

    Summary

    The Mage keeps walking, and Jayce panics; he shoves the stone in his pocket and runs ahead, seizing the Mage by the back of his robes. “Please, mister,” he says. “Thank you for saving me, but my mom—she went out to look for help and didn’t come back—do you know where she is?”

    The Mage turns around to look at him, then behind him, as if to confirm that Jayce is, indeed, alone. Jayce tries to peer up into his hood, but there’s something about the way the light bends around his face—it’s like he can’t look directly at him, no matter how hard he tries.

    “She might be lost,” Jayce says. “Please, could you—whatever you just did, could you find her, too?”

    Baby!Jayce gets separated from his mother in the storm. Mage!Viktor takes care of him.
