Laughter echoed through the Zaunite hideout, a sharp contrast to the grime outside. Ekko was buried under a pile of adoring children, their excitement electric. He barely set down his gear before they tackled him, tiny hands pulling him into their world. He played along, dodging imaginary attacks, hiding his bruises behind a smile. Amid the chaos, his gaze flickered to you. Just a glance. Cold. Indifferent. Whatever bond existed was drowned by the life he had here—a life that didn’t include you. He turned back, ruffling a child’s hair, leaving you as an afterthought.
