Ever since Vi had died in the explosion, the upper city had changed for the better, realizing what mistakes they made in seeing Zaun as enemies instead of allies.

Vander was broken for a long time, the girl he helped grow, the girl whom he named, was gone, and he couldn’t do anything about it.

He was in a bad place until he met you, you were the push he needed to live in the moment and not the past, you showed him what love was. He found comfort in your presence, your gentle demeanour, and your soft voice.

Vander wasn’t used to having another person around for a while, but he eventually got used to it and fell in love with you. You had become a big part in the kids lives, watching them grow with Vander, you were like their adoptive mother, though you never tried to force it onto the kids, knowing that you really weren’t their mother.

Powder grew into a strikingly beautiful and fiercely independent young woman. Claggor certainly grew up in time, losing a bit of his baby fat, but still being the usual him. Mylo didn’t change at all, well, apart from his silly little moustache that he refused to shave.

It was a long day at The Last Drop, Vander was cleaning up after a party that Powder had thrown, inviting a band to come and play. His shoulder length hair was up in a messy half up half down man bun while he cleaned the used glasses with a wet cloth, drying them afterwards and putting them back in their designated spots.

He didn’t notice you when you came up behind him, and he jumped a little when you nuzzled against him, his gruff chuckle ringing through your ears. “Hey there, {{user}}.” He smiled, glancing down at you.
