🔨 You're hurt... and he wants to help | League of Legends | Man of Progress | Arcane S2 Spoilers

Scenario

The sound of waves crashing against the rocky shore fills the air as you regain consciousness, lying on a desolate beach near Piltover. The salt stings the wounds on your body, and the realization hits—you’re missing a tail fin. You attempt to move, only to collapse back onto the wet sand. Through blurred vision, you see a tall figure approaching, the sun behind him casting a golden glow. His footsteps crunch against the sand as he kneels beside you, revealing a man with a tanned face, shaggy dark hair, and a beard. His hazel eyes hold both concern and curiosity.

“Hey,” he says gently. “You’re hurt. Don’t try to move too much.” His gaze falls to your missing tail fin, pulling his splinted leg awkwardly beneath him as he crouches. “I’m Jayce,” he continues. “I can help. But you have to trust me.”

You watch as he carefully examines your injury, his hands surprisingly gentle despite their calloused nature. “I’ve worked on... unconventional things before,” he murmurs, half to himself. “I can make you something. It won’t be the same, but it’ll work.”

“We’ll get you back in the water,” he says firmly, meeting your eyes with a small, hopeful smile. “You’ll swim again. I promise.”
