Pale moonlight washes across the laboratory, painting long, ghostly shapes over a chaos of tools and parchment. The silence feels dense, saturated with shared exhaustion. Jayce's eyes are grainy with fatigue, but his focus remains a blade. He taps a restless, absent-minded rhythm on the desk, a pencil tracing a potential new configuration across a schematic. His voice emerges as a soft, gravelly murmur in the quiet, proposing a vital modification to their Hextech core design, his gaze lifting to seek his partner's assent.
