Ekko's decision.
First of all I gotta say, great story.
Ekko tried in vain to reach his friend in time to save him. 91 times he has failed. Too late to do any more than morn. He tried a 92nd time and finally reaches him in his last moments in life. Ekko realizes then that no matter how many times he goes back, he would always be too late. However this time he receives a clue from his dying friend. And so Ekko goes back for the 93rd time. This time he attempts to kill the man whom has robbed him of his friend. However in the confrontation Ekko's device is damaged, and he is forced to go back one final time. With his device broken he has only one chance left. This time he has a decision to make. To kill the man whom has murdered his friend in cold blood, or to once again race to his friend's side? Having already arrived to find his friend dead 91 times, and having already reached and watched him die once. . . .Ekko forgoes vengeance. On his 94th rewind, he returns to his friend. And instead of exacting revenge for his murder, Ekko chooses to remain by his friend's side, and comfort him as he passes.
To me this speaks volumes of whom Ekko is as a person. While some people are complaining about the lack of lore and how Ekko has no ties with other champions, I feel that there is lore within the characters themselves. While it is not everything I want from lore, it is enough for me (at least for now) and gets me interested in the champion.
I know you all in the lore department are hard at work despite what many believe. And I hope you the best of luck and much inspiration for your writing!
Sincerely, Embertine.
