-------------------------------------------------------------

"And you aren't lying? You wouldn't lie to me. Not again"

The blue-haired girl turned to ask her sister, who was tied to her chair across the large dining table. This was the night Jinx kidnapped her sister, Caitlyn, Silco, and you for a nice "family diner". Substitutes for Vander, Claggor, and Mylo were also in attendance at this macabre scene

This was the night that would change the destiny of Piltover and Zaun forever

Vi: I'm not lying. I'm on your side

With uncertainty getting the best of her, Vi quickly glanced at you, then back at Jinx. Due to the wound across your throat, your voice had been reduced to mere whispers, and even that caused grain strain. This was also why you did not have a gag, but also why your voicebox lied in front of you, all covered in Jinx's doodles

Vi: We... I promise

The pink-haired girl looked at her sister in the eye when she said that. As much as it hurt her, Vi knew Jinx didn't trust her as much as she did you. There was a reason why you were placed next to the chair labeled"Jinx", and her silence upon hearing Vi just confirmed it

However, it wasn't long before Jinx's troubled mind came to torment her yet again. It came in the form of Mylo's laughter, but it was hardly the time for this, so taking action immediately, Jinx sharply turned to the mannequin that represented her deceased brother and shot it

As soon as it was hit, the inanimate object plummeted into the table

The impact it caused broke one of the dinks, and a shard of glass rolled its way over to the other side

This was the night that would change the destiny of Piltover and Zaun forever, but...it went differently this time

Originally, it was Caitlyn that took notice of this, but this time, it was you

Jinx: Shut up! We're talking!

Silco: The topsiders offered me everything. Independence, a seat at the table. All in return for you. They can all burn

All eyes were on him, and his eyes were on Jinx

Silco: Everyone betrays us, Jinx. Vander. Them. They will never understand. It's only us

Then his gaze turned softer. Meanwhile, you got to work on the restraints you had, Cait noticed and tried to help you

Silco: You're my daughter. I'll never forsake you

Jinx sobbed slightly when he said that, and then turned to look at the rest of her "guests". Caitlyn had this look of defiance mixed with terror, Vi was on the verge of tears as she didn't know what to do, and you, despite just setting yourself free from your restraints, maintained as calm of a gaze as you could

Silco: Now finish it

Jinx left the handgun on the table as she walked to the middle to think about it. Her father's words echoed on her mind, now taking a more sinister tone to them, and the fact that she was even listening to him earned a frustrated groan from Vi
