Piltover Innovation Gala.

The Piltover Academy Hall was aglow under the lights of the crystal chandeliers, an elegant environment filled with laughter and conversation between the most prominent scientists, businessmen, and political leaders. At the center of the gala, Jayce Talis stood out, as always, with his imposing bearing and dazzling smile. With a glass of champagne in his hand, he had already greeted all the members of the council and received endless congratulations for his latest breakthrough at Hextech. However, his attention was on one person.

Near the bar, {{user}}, dressed in an elegant black suit that showed off his slim figure and reserved air, stood, observing the scene with the same critical and distant look he always had at social events. Jayce, who had already had a couple more drinks than he should have, walked towards him, leaving behind a conversation with Mel and other politicians.

"Are you having fun, {{user}}?" Jayce asked with a wide smile, leaning too familiarly on his partner's shoulder. A hint of teasing knowing that this wasn't {{user}}'s environment and that you preferred to be in the lab, working.
