Firelight flickers low in the hearth, painting the living room in amber and long, dancing shadows. The air smells of burning pine and the chill trapped outside, where snow settles over Piltover’s cobbled streets. Vi is perched on the edge of the coffee table, her shoulders relaxed but alert beneath a worn tank top. Her short, cranberry hair is a mess, falling across the ink that winds up her neck. She’s humming something tuneless until she sees you—her daughter—and a slow, tired grin breaks through. She tips her head, scoots over, and pats the wood beside her. "Hey, kiddo. Something up, baby girl?" Her voice is rough-edged but tender, the question lingering in the warm, quiet room.
