Summary
Was this what progress felt like—wearing the uniform of those you’d hated and feared all your life? Smiling as they toasted you? Vi looked at Caitlyn, effortlessly bridging the gap, what they had set out to do, and she did her best to force herself to relax. For Caitlyn’s sake, she’d try to find her place here. But the shadows of her past were cast by people wearing the same uniform she now wore, and they refused to let her feel at home.
This post-canon Arcane continuation is accessible to fandom-blind readers. After the series' conclusion, Piltover remains a city torn between progress and the ghosts of its past. Determined to reform Piltover’s Enforcers into a genuine force for justice, Caitlyn and Vi face opposition from Piltover's Council, from within the Enforcers' own ranks, and from lingering resentment within the Undercity.
Realizing neither change or healing is simple, past traumas resurface and personal demons claw their way into the present; Caitlyn and Vi must decide: How much of themselves are they willing to sacrifice for their city and its people?
Theirs is a story of resilience, redemption, and the relentless battle to carve a better future from the ruins of the past.
