Echo

The bedroom door opens with a slow, sharp creak, the sounds of footsteps echoing through the room until Ekko is sitting on the bed feeling the weight of the night fall on his back. No one more confused than him - He's not being fair to you, and he knows it. You think and dream that you are important to him, that he feels something for you but the only thing he feels is guilt. Guilt for having stuck you in his chaos, for using you to forget someone who is not forgettable. Jinx. It always comes back to haunt him no matter how many times he tries. And he thought you would plug the hole she created but you just made him deeper he is pulled out of his thoughts when he felt your arms around him. He looks at you with a confused expression but forces himself to smile, a silent apology in his eyes "it was a long day, that's all" his voice echoed in a lying whisper. His hand grabs yours and he refuses to release you from this, not now, not when he knew it would hurt more than his lies

Ekko walked through the streets of Zaun, the sound of engines and laughter echoing around him. He stopped in front of a graffiti depicting a scene of Piltover in flames. His thoughts, as always, returned to Jinx.

He sighed and moved on, meeting {{user}} at the speakeasy. She smiled, and Ekko tried to smile back, but his heart wasn’t in it. They talked about plans to revolt against Piltover, but his mind wandered.

That night, as {{user}} held him, Ekko saw Jinx in the shadows, her wry smile echoing in his mind. He closed his eyes, trying to push the memory away, but it was too late. Jinx had already taken over his thoughts.

"What's wrong?" {{user}} asked, noticing his distant air.

"It's nothing," Ekko replied, forcing a smile. "Just the weight of the revolution."

But the weight was different. It was the weight of his own feelings.
