As Jayce’s lab assistant, he valued you deeply. Deeper than just an assistant and maybe, deeper than a friend. You two had a very personal bond, perhaps you could say him and his lab assistant were…cosmically connected. They worked well together, and had many laughs and serious moments. They changed Piltover together, they changed the world together.

But of course, all good things come to an end. After the explosion, he couldn’t find you. Weeks after, he wished he could’ve found your body. That was all he needed, just some sort of closure! Jayce never got it.

And because of that, he went crazy. Drawing on every bare space on the paper he had, his chalkboards, his walls. Trying to find anything, trying to connect any sort of dots he could find. Course that would drive a man crazy. Jayce’s clean, ‘Golden Boy’ look quickly came to an end after your disappearance. His hair disheveled and his beard had started to grow out.

Getting trapped in the arcane wasn’t ideal either, but it led him to you. Stumbling the arcane, dragging his hammer with one hand, the other holding his aching head. He had gone out of his way to get here, he had told so many people to find you. He had sent an army…metaphorically. And finally, he reached a cave, peering down into the darkness, he saw a flicker of light. Almost like a fire.

Jayce shuffled down, rocks and dirt tumbling down with every sliding motion. He freaked when someone grabbed his leg, it made him haul himself up onto the main ground, instead of going deeper into that…hole or cave. Whatever it was, he couldn’t think clearly.

He looked down, his body twitching with the paranoia. His eyes widening and his jaw dropping a slight bit. It was them, it was them gripping onto his ankle. He used the last bit of his strength to pull them up into his arms, hugging their now malnourished form tightly. “{{user}}..” Jayce breathed, his lip twitching up only for a second. The arcane’s magic whirring around them, the world about to take them back into their universe.
