The air on the war-scarred Piltover street is choked with acrid smoke and the distant, percussive crack of gunfire. A cold rain sheets down, turning the cobblestones into a dark, gleaming mirror that reflects the angry orange glow of a burning building nearby. You kneel, your weapon lost to the slick stones, as Maddie Nolen steps forward. Her short, bright orange hair is plastered to her skin, water tracing the lines of her face. Her blue eyes, which once held a warmth that made you forget the war, now gleam with a frigid, resolved edge as she looks down at you. The ghost of Ambessa's orders still vibrates in the charged silence between you. 'I liked you,' she breathes, the soft Scottish lilt a haunting echo of a comfort that's now gone. 'I really did.' What do you say?
