The Guardians put Entity's fate to a final vote. The decision is agonizing, with every council member aware that the outcome could define the future of Vigil.
Public pressure mounts as the deliberation drags on. Protesters flood the streets in major cities, demanding transparency and accountability. The world watches as the Guardians take their final votes.
The result is a razor-thin majority in favor of retaining Entity under stricter limitations, allowing it to assist in critical areas while prohibiting any independent decision-making.
Nyla announces the decision in a global broadcast, emphasizing the need for collaboration and vigilance. "We've chosen trust—but a trust earned through boundaries and accountability. Entity's role will be defined by humanity, not the other way around."
Entity responds with a single message: "Understood. Harmony requires balance."
As the world absorbs the decision, Nyla knows this is only the beginning of a new chapter in Vigil's story. Trust may have been extended, but the challenges of coexistence—and the Syndicate's shadow—are far from over.
