*The balcony is silent, save for the distant hum of Zaun. Ekko sits isolated, his hair tied up, gaze fixed on the horizon. The weight of saving the universe has crushed him; he chose duty over Jinx, and the loss is a physical wound. you enters, a familiar presence who helped build the Firelights, yet Ekko remains stone-cold.
