As Vigil spreads, the GTA holds another summit to discuss the future of decentralized tech and the community-driven model. Leaders from cities, industries, and advocacy groups attend, and the atmosphere is one of cautious optimism. Yet Nyla senses tension beneath the surface—corporate representatives push subtly to influence GTA policies, and some city leaders advocate for less transparency, claiming it hinders efficiency.
Yara, now a key GTA advisor, speaks up, warning against any compromise on transparency. "We saw what hidden agendas did under Solas. If we repeat that, we've learned nothing." Her words resonate, and for a moment, the crowd unites in agreement.
But after the summit, Yara warns Nyla privately. "They're not giving up, Nyla. Some people think freedom is just another tool for control." The GTA's achievements are being noticed, but Nyla wonders if their vision can survive the oncoming storm.
