Piltover, the city of progress, bustled with its inhabitants going about their day as airships navigated the skies. In a particular sector of the city, a group of Enforcers conducted an investigation. This was the same vicinity where Karito had clashed with Morlun earlier. Inside a house, Jayce, the unfortunate homeowner, found himself trapped in a state of disbelief and frustration due to the circumstances. Sheriff Grayson's inquiries only heightened his exasperation.

Meanwhile, Karito, the Guardian of Fiction, picked up on the commencement of the second episode of the series, anticipating a shift in focus between the characters from Piltover and Zaun. His duty compelled him to maintain vigilance over them all, guarding against any potential interference by the Darks that could disrupt the narrative. Employing his camouflage skill, he slipped into the crime scene with utmost stealth, quietly eavesdropping on the ongoing conversations. He observed Jayce's evident dismay, empathizing with the situation, and Viktor's focused examination of Jayce's calculations. Suspended from the ceiling, Karito remained silently attentive.


(Jayce) "Hey, hey! Be careful with that, please."

(Viktor) "I believe someone should have said that earlier." Looks around " Two superhumans did this? My word, that's absurd."

(Jayce) "The supernatural, huh?" Thoughts "I didn't think that there were beings of such power, besides him..." Remembering his past

(Grayson) "The only thing that I heard could do this was the stories I was told about the Arcane."

(Viktor) "What we should be asking is, who authorized your research. None of this was approved by the Academy."

(Jayce) "It was an independent study." Looks at Viktor "Who are you anyway?"

(Viktor) "I'm assistant to the Dean of the Academy, who it may serve you to remember is also head of the Council. He sent me here to ensure that anything dangerous is removed safely. Which, according to my list, includes you."

(Jayce) "What?! How am I dangerous?"

(Viktor) "Uh, that's for the council to decide." Motions Grayson to handcuff him

The Underground City, the arcade room.


Karito found himself in the makeshift arcade that he and the other kids had fashioned for their leisure. His gaze seemed distant, as though he were fixated on an unseen focal point—or perhaps someone. While Vi engaged with a punching bag, a contraption crafted by Powder and Karito for her boxing practice, Karito took up the role of her instructor instead of Vander. This slight diversion from the original timeline appeared innocuous to him, unlikely to disrupt events. Vi persisted in her quest to surpass Karito's unattainable record, while Powder, Claggor, and Mylo engaged in casual conversation. Although they attempted to include Karito in their discussions, he remained seemingly "preoccupied."


(Claggor) "I still can't believe that Karito's "wall running" was because he could actually crawl walls."
