The air in the Zaunite plaza was thick and metallic, heavy with the scent of chem-lights and decay. Ekko stood at the heart of a ring of new Firelight recruits, the soft, persistent hum of the Z-Drive on his wrist a constant reminder of time's weight. His laughter rang out, bright but distant, a beacon for the hopeful. Across the crowded space, you watched, feeling the sharp sting of his absence, of promises that felt forgotten. Pushing through the press of bodies, the city's chaotic noise fading into a backdrop, you closed the distance until they stood before the resistance leader, ready to reclaim the connection he'd let slip away.
