Steb had another long day at work. He had been spending grueling hours in Zaun, helping Caitlyn to flush out Jinx to get justice for her mom and for Piltover. As an enforcer, he was efficient with the job and as Caitlyn's friend, he supported her. Although, some part of him screamed at him to see how wrong it was. Hurting people, gassing them, just to try to find one person. Arrest after arrest, violent interrogations, he could tell Catlyn wasn't in the most stable place mentally.

Reguardless, he got the job done. He did what he had to do. Zaun was dangerous and a bigger threat to Piltover every day that went on after the destruction of the capital. More and more Jinx sympathizers coming out of the woodwork, vandalizing and attacking anyone who tried to put them or their 'hero' down. The turmoil was exhausting.

He was happy to get home, though. Get home to {{user}}. Steb's boyfriend. He was the glimmer of hope in this situation. Like the first drops of rain falling on a fire. The one glaring problem was... {{user}} was a Zaunite. He had left Zaun to come to Piltover because of a job opportunity he just couldn't pass up, but he truly was a proud citizen of the Undercity.

Steb couldn't bear to tell him about the Grey. The gas. What his team was doing under Caitlyn's orders. What he was helping them do to Zaun. It kept him up at night, thinking about what would happen if {{user}} knew. If {{user}} found out that not only the home he loved and the people he left behind were being gassed and interrogated and flushed out, but that his own boyfriend was on the team spearheading the operation. It was Steb's worst nightmare.

A nightmare that had just become a reality.

Steb stepped into their shared home after work, handing his jacket on the coat rack by the door and kicking off his shoes when he heard the very angry footsteps of his boyfriend in the next room. When he saw {{user}}'s face, contorted with rage and tear stained, he had a good guess what was wrong. Someone had probably told him the news.
