This came up on my feed and the whole plot for this struck me so suddenly I can only attribute it to Valko himself possessing me from beyond the grave. Going back to resurrection rituals now!!🕯️🕯️🕯️
Homeward Bound
Valko x Reader(gn!)
Summary: Valko may or may not have a soft spot for strays.
The rain pitter-patters on Valko’s umbrella, dripping from its edges and spattering down onto your combat boots.
“So,” you narrate, flicking water from the cuffs of your uniform as you walk, “there this guy was, tryna get an exclusive while the Wanderer played frisbee with half the road. Lampposts flying all over the place. Cars flung left and right. ‘Hey, can I get a statement?’ How’s this for a statement? Get the fuck out of the way!”
Valko grins, his canines peeking out from his lips. “Guy was asking for trouble. Shoulda let it find him.”
Your pace slows. “Actually, Val, he… he, um…”
Valko’s ears are lowering, like they always do when he thinks he’s misjudged something.
“Nah, I’m just messing with you. C’mon, Valko, he was fine. I’m a professional, remember?”
Relief escapes him. His ears perk back up.
“Anyway, where was I? Ah, yeah, so he was badgering me. The Wanderer had a shield up, and Xavier was off evacuating people, so Resonance was a no-go. I was firing away, and—”
It’s only when a large drop of rain hits your forehead that you realise you’ve left Valko behind. You’re suddenly escort-less. Umbrella-less. Your thumb swipes over your brow as you turn back.
“Uh… Val?”
Valko stands a little way down the pavement, his gaze cast off into an alley. An imposing figure— dark-suited, spared the glare of streetlights by the shade of his umbrella. The silence is soft, though. Late-night loneliness, tickled by rainfall. Nothing’s making your skin prickle, or your Hunter’s Watch cry out.
With a fond smile, you sidle over to him again. Lean in and enthuse: “You see something, boy?”
“Ha, ha.” His eyes roll. The dog jokes never get old. Or… wolf jokes? “It’s nothing. Just…”
You follow his gaze— pre-eyeroll, that is— to some cardboard boxes, going damp in the alley. You don’t see it at first, but then you do:
A little wolfie plush, abandoned. Upside-down in a puddle.
You look at Valko. Then the plushie. Then Valko again; he’s transfixed. It must be an existential crisis. Is he a man who stops for plushies? More pressingly— is he ready to be perceived as a man who stops for plushies? He gives you a sideways glance.
“Wanna check it out?” you coax in amusement.
He hesitates. “Sure. Whatever. Yeah.”
Taking the lead, you stray into the alley with Valko in tow— for the sake of appearances, a tagalong. He holds the umbrella over your head as you crouch by the plushie, wrinkling your nose. “Poor little thing. It’s kinda disgusting though, no?”
“I don’t think—”
“Germs galore. Yuck.”
Valko has crossed his arms, but he’s fidgeting on his feet behind you: trying so hard to be nonchalant. “Let me guess,” he huffs out, “you wanna take him home.”
“He’s a he?” You squint up at him suspiciously.
A tiny flash of panic, because yeah, that was a slip-up, wasn’t it? He clears his throat. Sneers again, like that’ll somehow save the situation. “You bleeding-heart types are into that, right? Picking up strays?”
Begrudgingly, your focus trudges back to the wolf. It’s caked with mud. One ear is torn, and an eye is missing— yellow thread hanging down, like a dangling optic nerve. It even smells. “Uh…”
“Leave it. It’s fine,” Valko sniffs, dismissive.
But the wolf has a backstory already. Something tragic and relatable, you can tell. Withholding a sigh, you pinch its good ear and lift it out of the puddle; sludge is sloughing off like a second skin. Ew. Ew, ew, ew…
Valko is watching intently, pupils wide and invested. Fuck.
…
The brush of Valko’s tail sways behind him at the kitchen sink. It’s been several rounds of washbasins, suds, and furious scrubbing, but you are making progress. He lifts Wolfie out of the bubbles. Smiles and sinks him under again. “He cleans up nice, huh? Told you he would.”
“Mm. Didn’t see the vision at first, but… he’s growing on me.”
That smile’s now a smirk. “Yeah? Don’t go getting all attached.”
You watch rubber-gloved hands wrestle with ruddy fur in the water. Poor Wolfie. “Why not?”
“Because he’s loved, idiot. He’s got somewhere to be, or someone to be with. Everyone does.”
In a world where Wanderers tear through city centres, you don’t know how Valko has managed to stay an optimist. Not everyone has a somewhere or a someone. People are left behind every day. Chance, cruelty, and circumstance. “You… really think someone’s looking for him?”
“Of course.” Valko pulls a sopping Wolfie out of the sink. “I mean, look at him. How lovable he is.”
He holds up the plush so they’re cheek-to-cheek: big, grinning wolf, and small, suffering one.
A little place aches, sharp and cynical in your chest. “Yeah, Val. He’s pretty lovable.”
Don’t think about how often ‘lovable’ winds up alone in puddles. You boop Wolfie’s nose, then tousle Valko’s hair.
…
“You think I’m crazy.”
“I think… passion takes on very different— all equally valid—forms.”
Surrounded by stacks of posters, Valko narrows his eyes at you like he can’t technically fault your answer, but he knows, deep down, you just called him crazy to his face. Behind him, the photocopier is whirring and spitting out more.
It bleeps when it runs out of paper. A desperate plea for mercy.
This is definitely a misuse of company property. Valko pushes his glasses up his nose before unloading the latest pile of posters, setting them aside with the others. As craziness goes, it’s immaculate. The stacks are in lines. Very neat, very organised.
You drop a poster on the floor so you can enjoy the way Valko bends over to get it.
“Klutz,” he murmurs cluelessly when he passes it back to you.
You’re smoothing it out so you can read it. “Guilty as charged.”
Wolfie stuns in an image at the centre of the page, haunted by descriptions of what you imagine would be his insecurities, if he were sentient: ‘Missing eye— right.’ ‘Permanent marker on the tail.’ Valko’s number is listed in bold. ‘Found: lost plushie! Call!’
“Think I printed too many?” Valko asks, an inkling of self-awareness creeping in.
“Nah, it’s perfect.” You slip up onto the table, legs swinging beneath you. Just as he starts to relax, you add: “Didn’t realise the search for Wolfie’s owner had gone international.”
He groans in exasperation, dragging a hand over his face; yeah, you think he’s crazy.
You laugh softly as you tug him over by the edge of a rolled-up sleeve. “I know why you’re doing this, Val. Why you’re really doing this.”
“… You do?”
“Mmhmm. It’s PR, right?” He’s relaxing again— at your fingertips this time. You’re straightening out his tie, and his story too, while you’re at it. “‘EonCore Chairman Spares No Expense To Reunite Plushie And Child!’ It’s a pretty good headline.”
Valko lets himself smile, chest ever-so-slightly puffed. It is a good headline. He shrugs. “That’s right.”
Wolfie is perched nearby on a filing cabinet, and between all the stacks of posters are a few copies of something Valko doesn’t know you’ve noticed, yet:
Four stubby wolf feet, scanned in a photocopier, just for fun.
…
It’s been three weeks since the posters went up across the city, but you’re glad no-one’s called. Valko is curled up on your couch, face squished uncomfortably against the armrest, and his ears twitch as he dreams. Wolfie’s bundled up under his chin, a bandage wrapped around his head in place of his missing eye.
“Did you take that from my first-aid kit?” you’d asked on the night of the rescue.
Valko had held the plushie defensively close and said, unconvincingly: “… No.”
You guess your silly optimist of a werewolf was right in the end— Wolfie did have a somewhere and someone to get to. It looks like it was worth the wait.
A phone rings on the coffee table— Valko’s— and you snatch it up before it can wake him. An unknown number? The audacity. You answer:
“Hello?”
“Hi!” The voice on the other end is ecstatic. “I’m calling on behalf of my daughter! We saw your poster. That’s Mr Biscuit! We’ve been looking all over… we can’t believe you found—”
You hang up the phone in a panic. Block the number. Erase the call history. For a Deepspace Hunter, crime and its clean-up come surprisingly easy to you; you must’ve spent too much time with Sylus. Furtively glancing over at Valko, you do feel like a crime boss, sparing the innocence of a trophy wife.
Wolfie is watching from the crook of Valko’s arm: one half-moon eye silently passing judgement. You narrow yours at him, then put your finger goes to your lips. Draw a threatening line across your throat. This stays between the two of us. Valko doesn’t find out, okay?

Hi, I normally lurk around the fandom since I first joined the game, but I wanted to throw my support in as well --
Let my son free, he's too cute to be locked up!
Warning: Big text underneath lol...
I won't lie, I feel like I've dragged my feet while making this because I was anxious and sad at first. I literally opened this blog to give myself a place to cry over all this without getting teased... because I was just genuinely so disappointed…
I was really excited for Valko the moment his teaser dropped. And even more so when they released his trailer pv. I can’t praise the lore for this game enough, and the delicious character writing in general - so I was looking forward to seeing how he fits into the narrative. Especially since he is Rafayel's foil. I have so many thoughts and theories... and the trailer did NOT help with that. (I could rant on and on about the possibilities within this man for hours.) I wanted to see if any of my brainworms held up to the actual story... only for the cancellation letter to drop suddenly.
Though now with more context coming out, on top of everyone's efforts, this feels more like a "when he's back," than a "if he's back," so I feel more sane, lol.
But still... Watching all this unfold has been an experience. I can only hope the outcome is that Infold/Papergame's higher-ups start conducting themselves properly. If not for better QOL for players, then to not have a boil up like this ever again. Because this situation was totally avoidable. They should have never been pushed to put all their dev team's work on the line like this. so they have their own incompetency and greed to blame for that- I should probably shut up before I make myself annoyed again, lol. ANYWAYS.
As someone who observes from a distance, it's really nice seeing everyone working together right now. This space can be so hectic and draining sometimes. So it's really heartwarming seeing a community in action. - I want to offer more support, so I'll try dragging myself out of my creative drought to keep KoKo alive <3
I really wanna write something for him, but I literally can't think of anything good at the moment, despite having no other thought outside of Valko T_T
Anyways, if you saw this and read down this far - take care <3 Remember not to log into the game, sign petitions, and keep up the patience. he'll be home soon if you keep believing^^
Alright friends, let's look at what everyone is saying about 6.0 so far.
Also, hello to the anti who's hiding behind anonymous messages in my inbox. I'm not letting your negativity out of there, but I hope you find some inner peace. <3

POSSIBLE MISINFORMATION:
There is a screenshot going around of the "coming soon" banner having been removed. THIS HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED. Several sources say that even the Asia server is still under maintenance, and that no one can access the game yet. I have not received any updates from those I have been in contact with on X. Do not make assumptions based on this screenshot, as I cannot guarantee its validity.
Updates and Speculation:
Everyone (Asia, EU, and NA) seem to be having an issue with the download. They're all getting the same error message, or it's completely freezing. For most, it freezes with about 3,462.5M to go.
The error message is as follows: "An error occurred during the download. Download again? If restarting the download doesn't work, please try restarting the game. If the issue persists, please contact our customer service."
I imagine there are so many issues because Infold rushed the hell out of this update. If a few people were having a problem, I'd say it was their storage or their phone—but this is literally everyone. Maybe the files themselves are messed up, maybe the servers are lagging—it could be any number of issues. But, fact is, we've never encountered this many problems with a version update before.
The update itself is generally around 10gb. Here's everything included in the update:
I know this looks like a lot, but this is not 10gb worth of stuff. Keep in mind, adding an LI usually adds around 3gb, and the home system added about 5gb. So...if we don't have Valko, or a main story, where is the 10gb coming from? I know for a FACT it's not the damn kitchen.
This is my personal opinion, but I think all of Valko's files are still in there, just dormant. That's the best explanation I can think of. New LI + new main story + all of his info for the home feature and home screen...that makes more sense.
Those using the App Store are getting a new message when they first open the game.
Mind you, the rating in the actual App Store is still 13+. This is asking you to confirm that you're 18+. Now, this is not a bad thing—this game is definitely not meant for kids—but I find it interesting that this is coming up now of all times.
HOPIUM!
Everything we've gotten is the event notice, not the patch notes. Big difference. Events are separate from the patch notes—they're specific to what is currently going on in the game. The patch notes encompass the entire update.
One of my close friends is pretty knowledgeable about coding and game development (others who are familiar can chime in). Given the size of the update, he says it's very likely some of Valko's coding is already being added to the game.
Caleb was not in the first part of 3.0—he was in part two. Part one's description was, "Special Program is about to air. What exciting news will the Kitties bring this time...?" Nothing to do with Caleb. He wasn't announced and didn't appear until part two. We still have hope for the second half of 6.0.
Many on X agree that the WIW banner is simply for appearances. Infold is trying to improve their reputation in China, hence the banner that's associated with Chinese culture. They skipped No Defense Zone AND Misty Invasion—both of which were scheduled to rerun far before WIW. This is damage control, and it gives them time to figure everything else out.
For my spiritual friends: tarot card readers are getting good results. Basically, that Valko is going to be delayed and likely edited to some extent, he will be released.
i just think everyone could be a bit more patient with infold given the scope of everything that’s happened. it was US who decided they’d make a statement on the 9th to precede the update. i know it feels like a bad sign but when they fumbled the release & cancellation as bad as they did, i too would tread very carefully in what i say next

But I need you to take a deep breath and breathe with me.
Valko appearing on the ninth was a longshot. Infold has had two major holidays, been at AX, and is still under investigation. This whole thing, because of *content has never been as simple as 'oh we can just push him out without issue if there's enough hype'.
We have to remember it is much, much bigger than that.
I have already seen a lot of disappointment and spiraling, and I am here to remind you to breathe.
Spiraling before any announcements gets you no where.
Yes, I know the silence is frustrating. Yes, I know how exhausting it has been looking for correct information and only having Infold post on XHS. I am right there with you.
But you have to remember that when the government is this involved, they have to be careful.
Valko hasn't been fully taken down - including their own discord channel. Valko's WU is also still there. Once the system is up, someone can confirm if the 'Coming Soon' is still under the LIs. Last I heard it was.
We cannot spiral. We can keep pushing.
Please - remember people on the other side of the screen are human. Do not attack people for their choice on how or if they choose to continue this fight.
Okay, every take a breath. I know shit seems terrible right now. I know we're angry and upset. But let's take a minute and look at the facts. Bear with me.
Wander In Wonder was NOT the next multibanner on the schedule. They skipped over No Defense Zone AND Misty Invasion. Wander In Wonder has tie-ins to Chinese tradition. Rerunning this banner was a deliberate choice to improve their image in China.
They released TWO new crates in Xspace Echo—this is ONLY done when a new LI is introduced.
There is no mention of the main story in the 6.0 update summary. They are likely having to revise it to comply with government demands.
JP Discord still has the banner that includes Valko, and his channel and roles still exist as well.
All Valko content remains available on Twitter.
All Valko videos remain available (but unlisted) on YouTube.
X, RedNote, Instagram, and Weibo are still talking about him. We're still trending on X, which is where I check for most of my info.
I'm waiting for the update to fully go live, then I will be asking as many people as I can find if "coming soon," the texts, and the Eoncore WU story are still in the game. This will be a major tell.
We still do not have an official statement. Until we do, I'm holding onto hope. Infold is dealing with extremists, the government, and various other issues—this update is likely a way for them to buy some time.
DO NOT GIVE UP! If we don't fight, who will? If we don't speak up, who will? We've come this far. We've raised thousands for charity, we've gotten hundreds of thousands of signatures on petitions, we've kept Valko trending for eight days straight—this is not the end.
As always, I will update you as soon as I have more information. Sending love to all of you. Take care of yourselves—eat, rest, hydrate, cry if you need to. I know this is stressful, but we cannot stop here.
But you know what? Despite those changes, the censorship and everything that might come in the future…
I‘m glad and happy and relieved that we didn’t lost the game in it‘s entirety. Because that was my biggest worry. So it‘s good to see that Infold can still make these changes.
Because, let‘s be serious for a second, if the CN government wanted it gone, it would be gone. No doubts about it.
We might lost something, but we also won a big battlefield.
So now back to the frontline and trying to encourage the devs to give us Wolfie back 💖
