We see the Kiramann house, as on a sofa, sat Caitlyn, breaking the seal to the letters sent to her after Cassandra's death, as Tobius, her father, walks to her and sits beside her.
Caitlyn tries to think of something to say, but only four words dared to exit her mouth.
Cait: I had the shot...
Tobius stays silent, as he looks at Cait, and then back down, as he reaches for the pocket inside his coat.
Tobius: Your mother left these to you.
He puts two identical cuboidal objects in her hand, which Caitlyn instantly recognizes.
Cait: The Kiramann, and the Fleck key? No, I'm not- I don't deserve it... Especially the Fleck key, I...
Tobius puts his hand on her shoulder.
Tobius: They're your legacy now, Caitlyn. After M/N and F/N's deaths, the key was to be passed down to their son, but...
Caitlyn's face scrunches into a scowl, as Leper's face comes into her mind.
Tobius: So, the key was passed onto your mother, and now... To you...
The two stay silent, as Tobius' eyes land on Vi, who was leaning onto one of the doorways, a despair filled look on her face as well.
Tobius: *pissed* What is SHE still doing here?!
Vi walks away, as Caitlyn slowly follows her.
The two meet up in the hallways, rain pouring down outside, as Vi tries to look at Cait, but couldn't bring herself to do so.
Vi: Hey...
Caitlyn tries to maintain a strong face, but it crumbles down, as she runs into Vi's arms, sobbing her heart out for the first time since Cassandra.
Vi tightly hugs her back, as Cait soon lets go of her.
Vi: You were right, Cait... Powder's gone... And Y/N... I... I killed him myself... I can make this right... If you get Jayce to fix the gauntlets, I can do this myself, no one else needs to get hurt.
Cait: No... No more rogue missions. No more reckless plans. My mother was right. My arrogance led me to take on more than I could handle, and... She paid the price.
Vi tightens her grip on Cait's hand in reassurance.
Cait: They're sending all the enforcers after Jinx and Leper. I'm going with them.
Vi looks at Cait and speaks, her voice desperate, yet determined.
Vi: Please... I have to help.
Cait: You can.
She reaches to her side pocket and takes something out, handing it to her.
An enforcer badge.
Cait: As one of us.
Vi: Cait, I can't wear this.
Cait: People are calling for blood. The Council won't stop them.
Vi drops the badge on the ground.
Cait: You can show that not all of Zaun supports those two maniacs. We can show them. Together.
Vi: I watched them kill my parents. Do you have any idea how that feels?!
Cait: Yes, I do!
Vi silently takes a few steps back.
Cait: I thought you were on our side...
Vi: No... You didn't think at all.
She walks away, leaving Caitlyn alone.

A while later, we see Caitlyn sitting in a garden, violet petals all around her, as she opens her hand, and a few petals blow with the wind from her hand, and fall on the ground, losing their color, leaving a bed of dried and dead petals on the ground.
We see Cait walking through the bed of petals, her rifle in her hands, as she looks ahead, the petals continuing to fall.
At a distance, stood two figures.
Jinx.
And Leper.
Silently staring at Cait, their eyes glowing purple from Shimmer.
Cait takes a deep breath, and reloads her rifle, Jinx and Leper's laughter echoing in the distance, as she aims the gun at the two.
She puts her finger on the trigger and goes to shoot, when a voice brings her back to reality.
Jayce: Hey, sprout.
Cait gasps, and looks to her side, as Jayce comes and stands beside her.
Cait: How'd you find me?
Jayce: Your dad.
Cait: Mother and I used to come here when we needed an escape.
She dryly chuckles.
Cait: One of the few places we never argued.
Jayce looks away, and speaks up.
Jayce: I'm sorry I haven't been around.
Caitlyn looks at Jayce.
Caitlyn: How's Viktor?
Jayce sighs in exhaustion and sits down.
Jayce: I can't even tell if he's even still in there.
Caitlyn: Ever since it happened...
A couple of petals blow away with the wind.
Caitlyn: A couple of faces keep spinning in my mind. I see mother.
We see Cassandra's corpse on the ground right after the attack.
Caitlyn: Right when they found her, and every fibre of my body just sinks, like a stone in dark water. Then there's the Y/N I knew.
We see a young Y/N playing around with young Caitlyn, laughing and enjoying himself like any child should.
Cait: His innocent and sweet voice pulling me back up. But then... I see Jinx... And Leper... Laughing.
We see Jinx raise her hands in surrender, a cunning smirk plastered on her face, as we then see Leper laughing while attacking the enforcers.
Cait: Leper's laugh just suffocates that innocent and sweet boy that I used to know. I want to tear those laughs out of their throats. Permanently.
Jayce: Cait.
Cait: I know. I just understand now how easy it is to hate them. One vicious act.
She looks up.
Cait: Then I see Vi. I asked her to put on a uniform. Suffice to say, she declined.
Jayce chuckles at this.
Jayce: Vi. Wear a badge?
Cait: She thinks those gauntlets of yours will solve all her problems.
Jayce looks away and lets out a deep sigh.
Jayce: What if she's right?
Cait turns her head towards Jayce.
Cait: Hextech may keep us alive, Jayce. But it's not what will save us.
Jayce: This... Y/N boy... He's... He's related to Leper, isn't he?
Cait stays silent, but her silence spoke volumes, ones that Jayce heard and caught onto.
Jayce: *looking down* I see...
Cait stays silent, before opening her mouth to speak, to tell Jayce just how Leper and Y/N were connected.
But she remains silent.
He won't understand.
Nobody would.
Nobody.
---
We see Jinx sitting on a chair in her "lair", as she takes out a picture.
She looks at it, as we see Y/N, Vi, Mylo, Claggor, and Vander. All smiling and posing for a picture.
The photo glitches, as we see everyone's faces crossed out, except Powder's.
Jinx stays silent, as her eyes wander to Y/N's crossed out face.
Jinx: Y/N...
Flashes of Mylo, Vander, Claggor, and Silco dying go through her mind.
Once again...
She was all alone...
Leper: He's dead! Y/N is dead!
Jinx sighs to herself, as she clutches her hair in her hands.
She was...
All alone...
After all this time...
