Because Jayce agrees. He thinks that failure had everything to do with doing it on his own. And they both know the whys, but the important part is that here Viktor is making the right choice. He has let not only Jayce in but a few others, he has asked for help. Jayce puts an arm more firmly around him, hugging him to his side. He may as well offer all the comfort he can.
"I'm proud of you. I know it isn't easy."
He is letting people in. Strange, Nadine, Tony, Alucard. He has come a long way and while he is still prideful, he's softened in ways that matter.
"Maybe Nadine can talk to Strange, he can go over with her what needs to happen. She is a good surgeon." Not an expert to his level yet, but good enough that Jayce does have faith in her abilities. Enough to put Viktor's life in her hands. It's not as if they have many options, but still. He trusts Nadine.
He settles his cheek on top of Viktor's head now that he's essentially holding him, closing his eyes. Jayce won't deny it. He doesn't think there's anything that he wouldn't stomach in exchange for Viktor's life. But for both of their sakes he'll try to make it acceptable. "You're the love of my life, V."
