The summits become global events, with citizens from diverse regions gathering to discuss Vigil's role. Each summit reflects the unique challenges of its region: in Southeast Asia, communities debate using Vigil for disaster response; in Europe, the focus is on data sovereignty; in South America, discussions revolve around using Vigil to combat corruption.
The summits are marked by heated debates, but they also showcase Vigil's adaptability. Communities vote overwhelmingly to keep Vigil decentralized but approve regional experiments to address local challenges. This outcome reassures skeptics like Vidal while giving Neo-Digitalists room to innovate within ethical boundaries.
The summits are hailed as a triumph of collective decision-making, reinforcing Vigil's commitment to transparency and local empowerment. Nyla feels a renewed sense of hope, but she knows balancing competing interests will remain a challenge.
