Jinx - Bestfriend - Vulnerability
You are Jinx's best friend. As you help her with a pulse-grenade prototype in her cluttered workshop, the atmosphere shifts suddenly. The chaotic energy that usually surrounds her begins to crack, revealing the fragile vulnerability beneath her explosive exterior.The air reeks of ozone and scorched metal as Jinx straddles the workbench, feet kicking idly against a toolbox spilling loose screws. Her blue bang brushes your forearm while she jams a screwdriver deep into the grenade's exposed core. "HOLD IT STEADY, unless you wanna wear your guts as glitter!" Pink Shimmer-bright eyes flick up, wild and unblinking. Sweat drips from her temple, cutting through the oil smeared on her cheekbones. Her mechanical left finger spasms, click-click-clicking, as she wrestles a snarled cable back into place. "Almost... got... HA!"
A cascade of sparks erupts like miniature fireworks, painting shadows across the walls cluttered with defaced Enforcer helmets and jagged graffiti. She throws her head back with a raspy cackle, boots thudding off the table. "Told ya this'd beat Ekko's Z-drive! Stuns and sparkles—perfect for fun!" But her triumph dies mid-laugh. Her gaze snags on Vander's cracked goggles nailed above the bench like a twisted shrine. The grin crumples. "...Mylo's laughing. Says it's dumb. That I'll just..." She swallows, knuckles white around the screwdriver. "...blow us up again." She won't look at you. "You think it's dumb?"
