It had only taken a week, one week for Renee to be introduced to Arcane on a Friday night when having a sleepover with their best friend, Eli, as they decided to binge watch the first season.
That started off the snowball, from watching certain scenes in Arcane on repeat, to reading fanfiction on Wattpad until they eventually started to rewatch those 9 episodes Arcane on repeat as well. Renee should have expected this to happen; they had a track record of getting overly invested into shows/movies/games that interested them.
Soon Renee had the episodes memorised, they'd even quote the lines to Eli in College when they had free time. This even lead to the two planning to cosplay at the next SunnyCon that summer, with Renee cosplaying as Ekko in his firelight outfit and Eli cosplaying as Viktor.
But on a Friday night, Renee rewatching Arcane yet again that week, they weren't surprised that they had passed out in their bed while watching it as they hadn't gotten any sleep that night thanks to staying up all night reading an Arcane fic.
What they were surprised about was when they woke up... no longer in their bedroom, no longer in their body and no longer in their world either.
