I already intended for my negotiations with Silco and ensuring it passed was going to be my last act as councilor. Since we've all agreed that's not going to happen, then it's even more of a reason I should resign immediately.
What Piltover wants from me isn't something I can give them.
i don't think there is, but okay, if you really wanna dig your heels and keep pushing them down in, it's your funeral.
but that last part i gotta agree, golden boy. you're a nerd. shoulda have just stuck to the lab, doing all that pretty, juicy math. i'd even get along with you if you had popped down to zaun to meet our inventors.
The people of Piltover need someone to look up to. You tell me all the time I don't know about Zaun, well, this is what I know about Piltover. Why do you think we have so many statues? Inspiration, guidance, ambition. Without those, progress is rudderless.
I didn't want to be a councilor. Your theft of the gemstone put me in this position. If I didn't accept their offer to become a councilor in charge of Hexgate security, they would have seized control of Hextech from me and Viktor. You have no idea how every moment for the past seven years has been a struggle to prove my research, keep it safeguarded, make breakthroughs deemed profitable or they'd stop funding it, keep going to their fundraisers just to stay on everyone's good side
