    Summary

    Ekko’s eyes landed on how small she looked, how dry her lips were. He had to swallow a sob because he felt like a failed hero.

     

    What kind of hero saves everyone but his family?

     

    “Let me take you home.”

    “There is no home to go to, Ekko.”

    “I’ll take you to my home. We have clean water and food and… you can take my bed and the blankets. Don’t you— don’t you want that? Just rest a little and get warm?” Ekko put his coat around her and squeezed her bony shoulders. “I’ll warm you up and then you can sleep for as many hours as you want. Does it sounds good? Food… and sleep?”

     

    ---

    Ekko takes Jinx with him after saving her. Duty and feelings have always been a dangerous, but balanced, fight. This time, he will give himself this one shot of selfishness — he can’t watch her hurt anymore. He won’t give up on her. Not again.
