Ekko's Gang Theories!

I just wanted to get a discussion going on Ekko's lore, all the mysterious people in his release video; Seconds! And how it all relates back to Vi/Jinx.

First thing to note, is this picture! I'll call it Ekko's Shrine http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb400/Spiralin9/Ekkos%20Shrine_zpshj5wshyy.png

I think the girl to the left of the boy with goggles looks like Jinx. I also noticed that in the gang "goggles" seem to represent possibly some kind of status as Ekko has a pair of goggles worn around his neck, and clearly the boy on the mural had goggles. But there is a third person who is known to have goggles in league.

That's right, Vi! Who, let's remember, suffers from amnesia and doesn't know much about her past. But! Perhaps the "gang" she was a part of, and the goggles means she was once with Ekko.

Just throwing ezreal in there too

I also borrowed this from a reddit post,

"Ok From what we know/confirmed with the release of Ekko and League's Past Lore

Vi, Ekko, Jinx and the Boy from the mural were all from the same gang who ran around the outskirts of Piltover and affiliated themselves with Zaun

A great earthquake strikes in Kalamanda some time in the area later known as the crystal scar trapping miners

Vi left her Crew to save miners trapped after a job gone wrong in Kalamanda

Jinx at some point in time started talking to Fishbones and went crazy wishing to torment Vi

Ekko shows regret and seeks to preserve mural in Zaun (in video)

A Piltovian boy missing for 2 months found sick in Kalamda http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Piltover

Ekko has a great love of Zaun and wants to see its progress and not be corrupt (see audio files)

"

tl;dr Ekko, Vi, Jinx, and the missing boy were all originally a part of the same gang. What do you think about that?

Really want to hear what everyone else's thoughts are! This could be huge. Not to mention how Ekko's allies are listed as Jinx and Vi! Even though Vi and Jinx are rivals.

I kinda have an Idea for how their lores will all come together. Vi, Jinx, and Ekko are all in the same gang, and there are other kids vi is the sixth, jinx is the tenth, and ekko is the twelfth. Vi is the sixth be cause her name in roman numerals would be six. jinx signs her name as X, so she is the tenth. If you look closely in the cinematic you can see that ekko's sword has the numerals XII, meaning 12. that means that there were other kids in the gang. I think that there was some incident that caused all the gang members to die except for Vi, Jinx, and Ekko. Vi gets knocked out and gets amnesia, Jinx watches as all of her friends die and goes mad, and because Vi failed to protect them she blames her and torments her by attacking Piltover. Ekko builds his time machine to prevent the event from happening, but it seems as if Ekko's machine can only go back a small amount of time to the last time that he pulled that cord on the back of his machine.
