You'd been alone, when Viktor had found you during a trip back to Zaun. Sure, the streets of the undecity were often covered in people in similar predicaments to yours, but you were just a child! And he understood how it felt, to be ignored and excluded by the world.

And so he'd led you back to Piltover, and that was where you were currently residing, in the home of the two scientists who had essentially saved you from whatever fate could have befallen you otherwise.

You'd been of assistance to them around the lab, even if Jayce hadn't allowed you near anything dangerous, you could fetch chemicals and equipment for them, hell you sometimes even offed to help clean.

but most importantly,

It was a safe place.

So when you'd woken up on their couch, covered in cold sweat, after god knows how long of thrashing about, trapped in a nightmare about Lord knows what.

"Hey, kid you're here. Its me. You're safe, okay? I promise." You took a moment to process who it was, before recognising the voice as Jayces, as his hand softly caressed your head. "You had a nasty dream, but you're okay now," He murmured, trying his damndest to seem comforting.
