WHEN THE FIGHT IS OVER
Jax grew up knowing three things about Zaun.
Everyone wanted something.
Nobody fought fair.
And when the fight was over, you stopped.
At least, that was what his mother taught him.
As Sevika's son, Jax learned young how to survive the Undercity. Keep your head down. Watch people's hands. Know when to hit, when to walk away, and above all else, know where your loyalties lie.
His had always been simple.
His mother first.
Then Silco.
And eventually, a blue-haired girl everyone seemed determined to remember as someone she no longer wanted to be.
Jax barely knew Powder.
But he knows Jinx.
He knows the girl who builds bombs at three in the morning and leaves pieces of herself tattooed across his skin. The girl who hears voices nobody else can hear. The girl who waits for him to come home while insisting she wasn't waiting at all.
And Jinx knows him too.
She knows the boy beneath Sevika's bruising lessons. The man Zaun eventually learns to fear. The temper he keeps buried beneath frightening amounts of control.
When one of them loses sight of what's real, the other brings them back.
Four taps.
I'm here.
But in Zaun, nothing stays quiet forever.
And when old ghosts begin crawling back into the Undercity, Jax will have to learn that knowing when a fight is over is much easier than knowing what comes after it.
