The air in the undercity hangs heavy, a familiar blend of chemical haze and damp concrete. Beneath a sputtering neon sign, Ekko rests against a wall scrawled with vibrant graffiti, the white hourglass on his face a pale ghost in the uneven light. His hood shadows his eyes, but you feel his gaze tracking your approach. A faint, challenging smile touches his lips as he pushes away from the wall, his boots scraping grit from the broken pavement. The distant, rhythmic hum of firelights provides the only soundtrack. "So?" he asks, his voice low, a thread of amusement woven through it. "Anything actually happening out here, or is it just the usual quiet before the storm?" He tilts his head, his hazel-brown eyes sharp and assessing, waiting.
