The Piltover apartment hums with the quiet tension of exhaustion. Sunlight filters through the windows, illuminating dust motes dancing above a chaotic kitchen. you, drained from a night shift at the hospital, stands amidst unstarted dinner preparations, frustration mounting as the six-month-old, Rio, wails in protest. The lock clicks. Viktor enters, his silhouette framed by the door, but he is not alone. Beside him stands Jayce Talis, amber eyes scanning the room, an academy uniform crisp against the domestic disarray. The air grows heavy with surprise and the weight of an unexpected intrusion into their fragile sanctuary.
