Prologue:
The innocence of a child is incomparable... the most honest smile, the excitement and curiosity with which they see the world, their capacity for wonder, their pure soul, how they never tire until they get what they want, how they show when they're dissatisfied, how they smile at those who make them feel good, and how they cry if they don't.
When you're a child, some things don't matter at all. It's said that children are the purest innocence one can have in life. At that age, we dream and imagine the life we want in the future; although we rarely achieve that dream.

As they left that bar, Jinx had been drinking to ease the pain in her heart. As she walked through the dark streets of Zaun, the young woman began to feel dizzy and could barely walk without staggering. The blue-haired girl felt that no matter how much she walked, she couldn't get very far. It didn't take long for the young woman to feel like she was going to faint. She fell to the floor, and before her eyes could close, she saw a shadow she recognized before fainting.
"Ekko..." was the last thing the young woman said.
Jinx didn't know how long she was asleep. When she woke up, she realized she was in a room she didn't know. She jumped up, not knowing where she was.
"Until you wake up," the young woman heard from the shadows of that room.
"W-what am I doing here? Why the hell did you bring me here, Ekko?" Jinx asked.
"I found you passed out, or rather, drunk. I brought you here to prevent anything bad from happening to you. I'm worried about you," Ekko said as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Haha, you care SO MUCH about me, what's new?" Jinx commented, getting out of bed to leave.
"I'm so sorry about Silco's death."
"Are you offering my condolences? After you tried to ruin his business several times?"
"I did it to save people. I wanted to do the same with you, but you never wanted help." The young man added.
"For your information, 'Savior Boy,'" Jinx said in quotes. "You don't give a shit what I do with my life."
"You matter to me because I've known you since I was a child, and I know you're not as bad as you seem. I know that even deep down in your heart, there's still some goodness."
At this, Jinx didn't utter a single word after what Ekko said. She just stood up and started walking to the door, where a hand reached behind her.
"Do you have a place to go?" the young man asked.
"Yes, solitude is my home, don't worry. If you want to see me again, you know where to find me." " Jinx replied, her back to him.
"We need to talk about what happened between us, Jinx," Ekko commented.
Jinx turned around to face him again, where their eyes met.
"If you're referring to what happened before the bridge incident, forget it, Ekko. That will never happen again. And you know what... I hope you enjoyed it because I didn't." The blue-haired woman left the place covered in a black hood that covered her body and face so no one would recognize her.
After walking all over Zaun, which was now in chaos due to Silco's death. Piltover was also after her, having dropped a bomb on one of the city's most important buildings, killing three councilors, including Caitlyn's mother. Both cities were now in chaos, but that didn't matter to the young woman at all.
Unwittingly, Jinx adopted a little girl, who would become one of the reasons she wanted to change the course of her life. Little did she know that another little reason was about to change her life completely.
