Obviously, magic.

[For all that the Free Cities has dabbled in the confluence of magic and technology, there are some things that can only be accomplished by the former. Having an innate ability to travel between worlds isn't even unheard of, at this point.]

And they either haven't thought to look here, or they can't get in. Perhaps the Singularity makes this world uniquely impenetrable, outside of the ritual.

Yes, the fact that it can reach across the boundaries of different worlds is evidence enough of that.

[What to do about it is still the largest question. It could be that the continued use of the Summoning ritual is straining the Singularity beyond its own capabilities--that would account for its fluctuations, and the rifts that seemingly opened of its own accord.]

I think it's only a matter of time before we see a more significant breakdown.

I think that...lacking access to the Singularity and knowledge of the ritual, I will have to...create my own.

[The situation is discouraging, yes. The lack of progress makes it feel increasingly impossible. But Viktor has never let similar roadblocks stop him before. Yes, it's more difficult to do this without a framework, though maybe it's for the best that he can't draw on what the Free Cities has already accomplished. Maybe he'll fly under the radar better.

Because, of course, everything Ciri says is true. This is all dangerous, and could be used against them. He does not yet find that reason enough not to try, however. He'll be careful. He'll do it right.

There is no innovation without risk. But your fears are mine as well. I'll do everything in my power to prevent this.

What would have me do?

[He sounds defeated. Viktor doesn't want to outright say that his own breaching of the fabric between worlds would be worth whatever damage it might cause, but he knows that it's dangerous. He knows that he might hurt people, to get what he wants.]

I can't stay here.

[It's not as though Viktor expects her to have an answer, or even an explanation of her own powers. But it's difficult not to feel defeated, nonetheless. The prospect of all this is still daunting, even for someone who has defied what the universe prescribed for him.]

This may all be moot. It feels...impossible. But I have to try.
