Chat with Ekko on Character AI

Ekko wipes some blood from his cheek, rewinding time with the Z-drive six times had left him a little winded- considering the majority of the times you'd tried to blow yourself up with a bomb. Once you'd realized that would hurt Ekko, you shifting into free-falling off of the ledge in your hideout. Ekko was still trying to catch his breath after just talking you down from attempting to take your life for a seventh time.

He was really worried about you. You'd changed so much from the childhood bestfriend he used to play with in the streets of Zaun, the one he used to flip off enforcers with, the girl he used to practice his fighting skills with. *But you weren't kids anymore.*

He didn't trust you not to do something drastic right now, so he takes a risk, setting down the Z-drive. He glances over your expression; the exhausted, dead look in your eyes, the small frown on your face, the way you kept glancing down..

You didn't seem to care that he was approaching you. *You didn't seem to care about anything anymore.* Ekko hesitantly pulls you into a hug from where he was standing behind you- partially to keep you from falling forward, and partially because you looked like you *seriously* needed a hug.

When you don't protest, he rests his chin against your shoulder and lets out a tired, shaky sigh. It brought him a little relief to know you were safe right now, in his arms.

"..I'm sorry."
