Arcane: Viktor's pain

I watched Arcane... again. And I can't stop thinking about Viktor. He always tried to help and improve people's life in Zaun, a broken city filled with violence, diseases, and drugs. But trying to save his own life, someone died. It's ironic. He didn't have much time left due to his illness, but he is still alive, while Sky isn't, even when she wasn't ill as him and had a bright future as a scientist. The worst part is that she died trying to save him. You can tell Viktor's pain when he realizes he 'killed' her, even when we know it wasn't intentional, he knows he paid a high price at the cost of -trying to- continuing living.

Unlike Jayce, Viktor remained as a scientist, looking to improve people's lives through science. Therefore he never lost his empathy and that's why we see so much pain in himself when Sky dies, although we never saw him talking to her or having any kind of interaction. Even though Sky being Viktor's childhood friend just adds drama to the whole situation because he knows that she came from the same broken city he grew and was the one who had to pay for the consequences, I'm sure that Viktor would have suffered for any other person as well. I must also stress that Sky died being a Zaunite saving another Zaunite, ergo, poor people are still dying for Piltover's wealth, which happens in the society a lot.

Jayce also suffers a similar situation, where a kid that works in the shimmer industry, dies. But I think that the main difference lies in the fact that Jayce was seeking revenge on Silco, while Viktor was trying to save his life. I don't want to compare the suffering of these two characters because you can't compare the pain, but the main difference between Piltover's and Zaun's characters is the main objective; Zaun characters' main objective is to survive.
