    Summary

    Caitlyn goes to the range for the first time when she’s five. It’s something she’s wanted for as long as she can remember. She’s been asking about the rifles over the mantlepiece since she could speak, has watched Mother march her rifle out the back door since she was four and now she’s here.

    She sits on the bench under the awning, the ear protection placed tight over her small ponytail, a finely burnished brass filigree set of oak and plush navy velvet.

    It matches Mother’s set.

    Cassandra teaches Caitlyn to shoot.

    Summary

    A hard hand gripping her chin, eyes made of Noxian steel: a wolf doesn’t cry. It was a threat as much as it was a statement. And Mel had always been a quick learner.

    Summary

    Turning to see a gun pointed directly at her head was terrifying—but watching Jayce collapse with blood pouring from his back and his shoulder, staining both his coat and the stage he once delivered speeches from red, is somehow worse. A permanent reminder of what happened here. And that would be the point, wouldn’t it? To remind them of the losses they already suffered, and then the people they would lose today.

    “Jayce,” Mel says, and there’s a shift in her mother’s expression. It’s not quite annoyance, not quite anger, but a distaste that twists her lips into a grimace. Mel knows she doesn’t like Jayce—that she thinks he weakens her, that he influences her far too much in far too many ways. Ways that she doesn’t approve of. “Is he alright? Has anyone seen him?”

    After the attack at the memorial, Mel sets off in search of Jayce.

    Summary

    “We need all the hands we can get,” Ekko repeats, “and as much as I’d like to wring your neck right now, you’re neither in the position to fight back or remember this. You’re gonna have a hell of a hangover in a few hours. You sweat this out, we get you back on your feet, and you start fucking fighting for your city again. Then, and only maybe then will you begin to pay it back. I hate you, Vi, but I need you. So get up off your ass and stay awake long enough to get on the hoverboard or I’m leaving you here to die in your own filth. Like I probably should but I’m nostalgic and feeling kind.”

    He holds out his hand.

    She takes it and flies.
