The line by twenty one pilots just dropped and i think might die if it’s actually about vik but the lines are hitting a way too close to home.
"honestly, i thought i was fully prepared for the threshold in store, stay your pretty eyes on course. i guess i never really faced my fears before. so stay with me because. my body's on the line now, pull the blanket tight now. i can feel the light shine on my face.
My body's on the line now I can't fight this time now. ”
“i thought i was fully prepared for the threshold in store”
Viktor knew he would die young and had been battling death for all his life, he thought he was prepared to die but isn’t truly.
“i guess i never really faced my fears before” Could be interpreted as many things. Viktor although he knew he would die young did everything to save himself, even argumenting himself with the hexcore. By trying desperately to search for a solution he never confronted the fact he simply would have died.
“my body's on the line now, pull the blanket tight now. My body's on the line now I can't fight this time now.”
honestly pretty self explanatory, viktor’s body has always been on the line, always been fighting for life. He might be transforming into the Herald and by doing so fundamentally changing his body, putting it on the line.
As for the blanket it could be a reference of the blanket jayce gave him when they had the “ divorce” . Also a blanket his usually put upon a deceased person…
“I can feel the light shine on my face” him in the intro:
Will they still let me over?
I see this as viktor asking jayce if he is disappointed in him, seeing what he is become and what he has done (although not conscious of it, maybe he realized later). “Will they let me stay over” could be referred to a lot of things, piltover for once, zaun for second, and all the other characters for third. Will they let him live there? Will they let him live at all? If he crosses the final line of becoming the Machine Herald.
But I'd rather you not be here for
What could be my final form
Stay your pretty eyes on course
Keep the memories of who I was before”
Again, very self explanatory. Viktor wouldn’t want his best friend to see him as an unemotional machine that in the name of the “glorious revolution”, his final form, doesn’t respect others rights. Since he can’t stop jayce to see it tho, he invites him to take a seat. To see the monster, and to remember who he was before: the silly, sassy and ambitious scientist jayce got to know over the years.
The true Viktor that now is gone.
