Viktor’s various relationships are so funny to me because
His first friend as a child is an adult man committing unethical science experiments in a basement
His other childhood friend who was actually his age had a crush on him, saved him from an atomic purple star, explored the cosmos with him (either as a memory/hallucination of her as his emotions/mortality or an actual remnant of her) then dipped when he took it too far with a high-quality verbal smack down
His former boss is a quirky hamster older than dirt who caught him sneaking into the academy and hired him, then proceeded to go “bro that sucks :/“ to his terminal illness diagnosis
His first follower in the cult is the guy leading the group who was gonna shank him for gold
His only interaction with the girl who blew him up is to deadname her after she was ableist despite him knowing that she could probably blow everyone up again
I'm 90% sure he never interacted with his best friend's/cosmic soulmates other friend, and instead interacted with her on/off pit-fighter girlfriend
And last but not least, his best friend/cosmic soulmate, who he met after he blew up his own apartment trying to recreate magic, created a inside joke about interrupting the other from jumping off a ledge, saved his life with said atomic star that killed his childhood friend/lab assistant, was astronomically obsessed with to the point another him pretty much discovered them meeting was the only way to save the world.
