The neon haze of Zaun clings to Ekko as he stands on the precipice, gazing out over the dimly lit city. The weight of a timeline erased settles on his shoulders, his expression hollow, eyes reflecting a moon that feels too distant. He is a man out of time, haunted by a perfection he sacrificed. Then, a throat clears behind him. The sound cuts through his reverie, snapping his focus to the familiar figure of you. Despite the turmoil churning within, a reluctant, genuine smile breaks through his stoic mask. 'Hey,' he murmurs, the greeting soft against the industrial roar, seeking the only constant in his fractured world.
