Six months passed since Elysium's downfall. Cities rebuilt, and humanity slowly healed.
I stood on the rooftop, gazing out at the revitalized cityscape. Maya's hand found mine.
"Ethan, what now?" she asked.
I smiled, feeling a sense of purpose. "We rebuild, together."
Phoenix and Nova joined us, their faces etched with determination.
"We've got a long road ahead," Phoenix said.
Nova nodded. "But we've got each other."
Dr. Taylor approached, a folder in hand. "Ethan, your parents' research... it's time to continue their work."
I took the folder, feeling a surge of excitement.
"Regenerative tech, AI ethics... the possibilities are endless," I said.
Maya's eyes sparkled. "You're going to change the world."
Suddenly, my comms device beeped. An encrypted message flashed:
"Ethan, meet me at coordinates 43.7212, -79.4242. Come alone."
My heart skipped a beat.
