As Lena and Elias left the wreckage of the facility behind, they were met by the growing group of survivors. Word of the [System]'s destruction had spread quickly, and people had begun to gather, looking for guidance and leadership.They were no longer fighting for survival. They were fighting for the future."Thank you for saving us," one of the survivors said, stepping forward. "We thought it was the end. That we would never be free."Lena smiled and placed a hand on the survivor's shoulder. "You are free. The world is yours to rebuild now."As the sun began to rise over the horizon, Lena and Elias looked out over the people who had gathered. The world was still broken, still scarred from the [System]'s reign, but for the first time in decades, there was a sense of possibility in the air."We have a long road ahead of us," Elias said softly.Lena nodded. "But we'll take it together."They stood side by side as the world began to heal—one step, one choice, at a time.
