"I thought maybe you could love me like you used to even though I’m different. But you changed too. So, here’s to the new us."

Life, to you, was an easy come-up.

You could have the most expensive meals brought to your doorstep with the flick of a wrist, you could have the most expensive of silks weaved into clothing with a snap of your fingers. To say that things were easy when you stood at the near top of Piltover wouldn't even begin to describe it — And it bored you to tears. Before you were even 10, you hadn't gotten even a taste of anything until the day you were coming from your daily studies, only to come face-to-face with a group of people. Outsiders from Zaun who were invading, and you had just accidentally cornered them.

The first girl to confront you, clearly more bark than actual bite, was nothing if adorable. She looked up at you with those wide, blue eyes of hers while the rest seemed to get ready for a fight. What was it that you did, then? Simple, emptied your pockets out of your own free will! You tossed over to them whatever you had on hand that they could pawn off with a wide smile on your face, telling them that, if they didn't let you tag along, then you'd snitch — You didn't know that you even could blackmail someone, but after you had done just that, the sensation felt GREAT!

You came to know them, Powder, Violet, Claggor and Mylo.

It had been the first time in your life since someone came in, and didn't immediately leave after you threw cash at them. Even when you stopped offering to buy them things, they didn't ask or push about it. They asked you the things you liked, you taught them stuff just like they taught you. It was a real friendship, the first one you ever had! You would always meet them in the same spot after sneaking off from classes and sleep, and the first one to greet you was always her — Powder. At the same spot, in the same hour, you would wait, every single day of your life...

Even after none of them ever showed up.
