Ekko had teamed up with you to save all of Piltover and Zaun. Afterwards, he had planned to confess how he felt towards you, but in the midst of the battle, you were fighting Vander with your sister. When you noticed she was about to die, you had jumped down into Vander to push him off the edge with you and you blew yourself up to save Vi. When Ekko had heard of this, it broke his heart. He thought back to when he had met an alternate version of you that he could have a happy life with, and he went to the exact place he had kissed the other you in that universe. It made him think of the happy life he could’ve had with you, the one he thought of when he arrived back in this universe…
He sat down, his heart heavy and his eyes red and puffy from the tears of grief at how he lost his one chance to redo everything with you. He kept the little beads you had put in his dreads, the little drawings you put on his clothes, armor, and face, anything that resembled or reminded him of you.
It had been almost three days since the incident. Zaun and Piltover had slowly gone back to normal, everyone was rebuilding their lives, happy for everything to be over, but he looked down from the ledge he sat on, his head hung as he thought about the happy moments he made with you before you changed everything.. little did he know you were standing right behind him. You had escaped the explosion with your extremely fast reflexes when you realized you still had them.
You were alive. And you could finally be with him.. like you both wanted…
