Well. Since Yura is that clever and wants to be taken seriously, it's time to see if he can poke some holes in his logic. Viktor didn't mean to test Yuri, not outside of dance anyway, but as far as he's concerned, he brought this on himself. So he's going to ask this while leaning casually ("casually") on the door frame, loudly enough to be sure that even if Yuri chooses to ignore his words, there's no way he won't have heard him. ]
Oh? Are you saying you'll believe any and all Retrospec memories, Yura?
[ There's the admission that Viktor was keeping something from him, what it is, the reason for his reticence to talk about it, the hint of bite that Yuri earned from him with his attitude. And underneath all of that, an implication of respect in that he's addressing this at all. How much of this Yuri will actually catch is a mystery to Viktor, but he's curious about it.
If Yuri turns around and looks at him, he'll find a playful smile on his face, for the sake of form, but very little of that in his eyes. Yuri has earned himself Viktor's full attention for the moment. ]

He doesn't look back to Viktor. Doesn't want to, because there are too many times he can remember just how Viktor looks around here drives him up a wall. He's already way too riled up. Even he knows that much.
It's still bitten off, but he does answer, pulling a hand out of his pocket and making a cutting motion across his chest, toward Viktor. )
Don't put words in my mouth! I don't just believe in anyone's mind games, memories or otherwise.
( This time his eyes cut back to Viktor, chin tipping up; tell him that manipulation isn't a game, that anyone in this arena isn't as much a part of the possibility. That Viktor himself isn't a cagey asshole who plays whatever and whomever he wants. )
Proving or disproving means gathering information. Compare and contrast, or whatever you want to call it. What's the thing they say in primary school? "Sharing is caring."
( he spits that out, eyes cutting away from Viktor again. part of him believes in things like that. most of him doesn't. sharing is as much a matter of use and being useful to others or to himself. caring has jack all to do with it, except with a limited, limited pool of people. )
A load of bull. But sharing is one way to see if things line up in similar ways. Or if there're differences, what's different. Most people aren't sharing the same "memories." I've had people contacting me about those freaking cats all day. No one else thinks Yuri's Angels really existed. Just you.
( which is why he flashes him ... nothing, actually. he kicks off the wall, turning away to resume walking. he's done. he didn't ask for Viktor of all people to have anything shared about the hallucinomemories; worse that it's not even sharing so much as hallucinoremembering something Yuri didn't, and so strongly he hadn't even questioned it in the first place. it leaves him more tense, shoulders making that too obvious. he tugs on his hood and pulls that over his head as he keeps walking, making his pulling into himself all the more blatantly obvious and simply not caring. Yuri shuts out the world. it's his coping mechanism to keep his focus. if he has to do it for this, too...
... whatever. he'll manage it, as one of the only things his grandpa just doesn't understand. why couldn't he have shared hallucinomemories with Dave? Anya? even Sorey? people who for reasons he doesn't get he still knows give a shit about him?
(because life is never fair, and life is cruel, he figures, so it doesn't hurt, because it's exactly like he's always suspected. you can't be disappointed in being proven right about things when you're pessimistic.) )

Completely missing, or ignoring, the fact that Yuri feels so strongly about so many things that are self-evident to Viktor (so what if he's the only one who remembers Yuri's Angels? Asumming that they're real) (Yura is his relative, it's not like they're complete strangers) (these "memories" don't necessarily mean anything) (giving them too much importance would be counterproductive and play into Retrospec's agenda), he focuses on what Yuri asked and replies, since Yuri is still there. ]
All I have is a sense of what Yuri's Angels are supposed to be. But I don't mind telling you, if you want to hear more about it.
[ Now, let's be honest-- not realizing that the whole Yuri's Angels thing was a potentially fake, implanted memory is embarrassing, and a first for him! But Yuri doesn't seem to realize that, and Viktor is certainly not going to inform him. So, there you go.
Viktor steps away from the door frame and goes back into his office, leaving his door open in an implied invitation. Yuri can decide on his own whether he wants to hear more about this or not. In the meantime, he's going to pour himself another coffee. ]

He doesn't figure viktor cares. It's not his responsibility to listen. And in the end, yuri feels that discord in his heart.
He doesn't trust viktor. Viktor owes him nothing. This exchange isn't equal. Yuri won't let himself get trapped. They can keep it all professional. He can swallow it down and deal. He's done it before.
(He knows this isn't the wisest response. Knows it even as he turns his back on Viktor's door. Even as he wants those answers to see what it'd meant to Viktor.)
But he doesn't trust him outside the professional sphere.
And so, quietly, he leaves. Minus the moment where he kicks the doors open, but that is... sadly normal. )

Well, that's Yura for you... And it's fair, too, he supposes. He could have made this easier on him (but he didn't want to) (and he doesn't really regret it, either) (he doesn't even think that regretting it is an option, tbh). So he goes to close the door instead, and picks up the cute cat plush from the floor. Said cat plush will now have earned a semi-permanent spot on his stereo, to Yuri's chagrin next time he visits.
But that's then. He'll give some more thought to Yuri's Angels later, maybe even ask Yuuri about it... But for now, there's other things to do. No use dwelling on this. Now, it's time to focus on the tasks at hand. Life waits for no one. ]
