The Sanctuary is loud tonight—not with construction, but with applause.
In the Starlight Pavilion, the echoes of a massive winter concert still linger. The lights are finally dimming after a night of mariachi, choir, and dance. The Hero stands in the wings, having spent the day ensuring the doors were open, the keys were found, and the transportation arrived on time.
In the Geode Arcade, a new high score glows on the "Panther Stacker" cabinet—a student has pushed the machine to its limits. A new leaderboard now scrolls above the game, a digital testament to the engagement of the next generation.
And in the Hero's private quarters, the sounds of "Thrift Shop" and a barking dog signal the end of a long, support-heavy day. The "Invisible Architect" rests.
