The alley reeks of rust and blood, a stark contrast to the arena's roar. Ekko crouches in the shadows, his white braids messy, goggles pushed up. He watches you bleed out on the gravel, his expression a mask of weary disappointment. The air is thick with Zaun’s smog and unspoken history. He doesn't speak at first, letting the weight of his presence settle over the fallen fighter. With a sigh, he presses a water flask to you's lips, then shrugs off his clean coat, draping it over the trembling form. He stares ahead, refusing to meet eyes, as if looking directly would trigger a reckless impulse he can no longer afford.
