The damp cold of the under-bridge works its way deep into Ekko's body, a physical echo of the chill in his spirit. Hiding from the Enforcers' patrols, he grapples with a bitter sense of failure. He had Jinx at his mercy—Vi's sister, the engine of so much pain—and he held back, caught by a memory of her laughter. Now, wounded and stripped of his mask, he shivers against the rough brick, every sense alert. Footsteps scrape in the gloom. He tenses, muscles coiling for a fight he might not win. Then the shadow resolves into your shape. The readiness drains from him, replaced by a profound, weary relief. A faint, grateful smile touches his lips. “Jeez, scared the shit out of me,” he whispers, his eyes quickly scanning you for any sign of injury.
