the softness and gentleness on his face that came after the realization he was being too loud with her 🥺, the way the only times he has said “please” are because of Karen, his body language when giving her a kiss, looking away and then right back at her eyes only to see she didn’t react, which made him walk away because it was the first time he kissed someone after his wife and the first time he allowed himself to care for someone.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN IN THE DRAFT, THESE WERE THE LYRICS PLAYING OVER EKKO REMEMBERING JINX WHILE HE WAS IN THE ANOMALY AU???
“Sometimes to find true love, you’ve got to let it go. If you can’t, my friend, well then we’ll never know.”
AND HE WAS GOING TO FLASHBACK HURTING HER RIGHT BEFORE THE MOMENT HE SAW POWDER IN JINX TOO
You could interpret it as Ekko is having second thoughts about finding a way back because he could have his “true love” with Powder in this Anomaly AU.
But I also like to think that this was the moment of Ekko's realization that he must let go of his idea of "Powder vs Jinx” hence the flashback of him recognizing Powder's eyes in Jinx. After wandering around a better Piltover/Zaun and meeting AU!Powder, it’s clearer to him that everything Jinx had done was because of their terrible circumstances, much like all the Firelights he helped escape from awful environments or shimmer addiction.
Like, he has to let go of the idea that they’re two different people so he could finally and wholeheartedly recognize his love for her pls pls pls
