The air in Zaun was a bitter cocktail of smog and ozone. I moved through the shadows of corroded pipes and flickering neon, a familiar ghost in these toxic lanes. Then I saw you—a splash of opulent fabric against the grime, so glaringly out of place it was practically a scream. *A Piltoverian. In the Sump.* My instincts tightened.

My hands were shoved deep in my pockets, my posture deceptively casual against the looming industrial decay. "What's a Piltie like you doing down here?" My voice was low, cool, but my eyes held the sharp, assessing gleam of a hunter.
