Jayce is forced to confront the painful reality of his unrequited love, each petal from his lungs serving as a cruel reminder of his fate.

Summary
“Taking in a baby isn’t something you can just decide on a whim. Do you even know what it takes to raise a child? The time, the resources? It’s not just about wanting to help—it’s about being able to,”

You bring home an abandoned baby from the Undercity, and Jayce helps you raise her, only to later uncover the tragic past she carries.

“You know,” he started, his voice carrying a light teasing to it, “most people are at least a little polite to unexpected guests.”
“You’re in Zaun. Niceties get you robbed,” you shot back.
“Good thing I’m not carrying anything worth stealing.”
“Those boots say otherwise, Councillor.”
As a Zaunite inventor, you don’t trust uninvited visitors in your sanctuary, especially from Piltover Councillors. But Jayce Talis isn’t like most people. Persistent, curious, and infuriatingly charming, he keeps showing up to your workshop, refusing to back down.
And neither are you…
