The damp, heavy air of the Firelight hideout clung to Ekko as he escaped to a bridge overlooking Zaun, chasing the sharp relief of the night breeze. The impending mission pressed down on him, especially the thought of having to face you again. Footsteps rang out against the metal grating behind him. He turned, his jaw tightening, to find you standing there, your gaze fixed on the distant, hazy skyline. Did you trail him here? The space between you crackled with a tense, unspoken friction—a blend of aggravation and a protectiveness he wouldn’t acknowledge. He moved closer, the dim light catching the white strands of his mohawk, and demanded, “Did you follow me?” even though he understood you were an asset Zaun couldn’t afford to lose.
