I'm guessing there were no academies available in Zaun?

[His laugh is not even a laugh, it's an exhale.]

No. It was once a relatively peaceful place of trade, though polluted terribly, but it then became a dangerous one full of control, and gangs, and drugs. A tattered commodity.

I was hoping to change that with the commune.

You sincerely believed yourself to be able to single-handedly solve all societal problems in your city through your ... commune? And the power of the "hextech"?

Yes. [Genuinely.] I believe any dream is possible with resolve. The Hextech Jayce and I created can save countless lives.

And now, the arcane I wield can do the same. The commune grew everyday. People were healing, coexisting. All I needed was to design tools to help us begin purging the Undercity of pollution.

[Ignores the fact his hex juice was running out slowly.]

If Jayce would have only looked, he could have seen the future we wanted.

[ she listens to him rather patiently before she looks away ]

No, I don't think he would have. If all he needed was a second look, he wouldn't have killed you for it. [ a pause ] Unless you believe he did it on a whim? That he witnessed what you were doing and simply reacted with extreme violence when previously you shared the same dream of peace? I suppose that's compelling as an angle too. He saw you succeed where he failed and killed you out of petty jealousy.

[He frowns.]

I have never known Jayce to be a jealous man... Something else was different. The arcane had touched him, but I don't know in what way. He did not tell me.

He looked so different. Tired, older. I suppose I looked different to him, too.

How long had it been since you'd seen him?

A few months. I had been... offended initially after I woke and pulled myself from the membrane the Hexcore put me in to heal me. I had asked him to destroy the Hexcore before, and he hadn't.

Instead, it was used to make me... this. I parted ways with him, but after realizing I could utilize this to help those in the Undercity... I reconsidered.
