The sudden disappearance of the miasma sent shockwaves across the world.
For years, cities had relied on barriers to simulate sunlight, shielding their inhabitants from the toxic clouds that choked the outside world. People had grown used to the artificial glow, never knowing the warmth of real sunlight.
But now, as the barriers flickered and deactivated, the real sun poured down for the first time in generations.
At first, the brightness was overwhelming. People shielded their eyes, squinting.
It was as if the sky had been reborn, untainted and pure. Warmth spread over their skin—not the artificial warmth of the barriers, but something more vibrant .
In every corner of the cities, people gathered in the streets, staring up in awe. Murmurs turned into cheers as the realization set in: the world was changing.
Children danced in the open air, their laughter echoing through streets that had long been silent.
