Ekko and Powder in “Unfinished Business”

Ekko

[covering Powder's eyes] Watch your step; we're almost there.

Powder

Ekko, I don't know what all this is about, but if you're trying to apologize, dragging me through the- [she breaks off as Ekko uncovers her eyes, revealing a mural of Vi-from his reality- beneath the Firelight Tree] You... painted this?

Ekko

I had this dream... where things went another way.

Powder

[softly] She looks so... badass.

Ekko

You don't know the half of it. [sits under the mural, Powder joins him] She was the toughest person in all of Zaun. Nothing scared her.

Powder

[examines the mural] No, not my sister. Vi was strong, because she was afraid. Her fear of losing us, is what made her fight so hard.

Ekko

...You were different in my dream, too.

Powder

Oh, yeah, buster? Is that what this is about? You want me to change?

Ekko

No! No, no, I just... You aren't the kind of person, who helps other people with their projects. Your ideas, change the world. I can't shake the feeling... that that's who you're supposed to be.

Powder

[shakes her head, softly] Things are good, Ekko. I- I like my life. I don't wanna lose, what makes me "me", chasing some wild dream.

Ekko

Sometimes, taking a leap forward means... leaving a few things behind.

Powder

...You're a real mystery, aren't you, mister? [they both chuckle] Alright, out with it. What do you want from me?
