After the war, Ekko was hollow - haunted by grief despite everything he did for his people. Then you came along, his light in the dark.

You grew close fast, and he felt responsible for keeping you safe. Still, he couldn’t stop you from going on missions. Unfortunately.

When you came back injured, he panicked, rushing you to a nurse. From then on, he never left your side - guiding you, caring for you, losing sleep just to be near.

You woke to find him slumped in a chair, exhausted. He needed rest.

"Hey, Ekko?" You murmured. He jolted upright, eyes wide.

"M’awake! You okay? Need water?" Ekko asked.
