To everyone who didn't get the ending: Basically Pyke was chasing another verision of himself the whole video, here is some lore that might help you understand: "Pyke remembers little before falling into the embrace of the Foreglow (what made him an Empyrean), only that he was defending his home. Waking in a new realm as the first Empyrean, he hears the whispers of other Pykes across the dimensions, taunting him from their homes. Why was his lost and not theirs? No answer will satisfy his searing rage, except vengeance."

[@Zarikou]

I can't stop fawning over the animation for the song. It truly is just underappreciated at this point. The amount of frame by frames that happen that just have so much perfect context is amazing. The beginning fight scene was jax vs pyke and much like an into the spider version scene or a comic book panel you can see words pop up behind them in brightly lit neon coloring. For pyke's movement almost every single movement was animated using a skill that he possesses from his in-game kit. In fact he uses his W during the ending scene, in the split second between him and jax and his real self. He also uses his E 2 to 3 times to either catch up to our universes pyke or to escape from a skill being used by jax. He even stuns our universes pyke with his E ability hence him standing there and no responding in a few frame by frame shots. Just ughhh the amount of effort and then the distortion effects of the wormhole in the beginning I just love the animation 💖✨!
