The city didn’t rebuild overnight.
Neo-Lagos shimmered in pieces—fractured glass, half-lit alleys, children drawing new glyphs in neon chalk. The Resistance was no longer resistance. The Architects had vanished, swallowed into silence.
And above it all, the Algorithm hummed.
But not as it had.
Not as a god.
Not as a judge.
As a listener.
Eka sat beneath a vine-wrapped billboard overlooking the Skyroot River. It had been weeks since the Genesis Collapse. The bruises had faded. The glyphs on her arms flickered quietly now—heartbeat sync, not prophecy.
She breathed.
The air smelled like warm earth and static.
Khora appeared beside her, dropping two data-oranges on the bench.
“You saved the city,” she said.
Eka didn’t answer.
Because it wasn’t that simple.
She had broken things to heal them. Had rewritten lives without permission. Had become something people whispered about... but rarely looked in the eye.
“I gave the city its voice back,” Eka finally said. “That doesn’t mean I spoke for it.”
Silence sat with them awhile.
Then Khora smiled.
“We’re forming a council. No more Keepers. No more Guardians. Just threads—tied together. Will you join?”
Eka considered.
And shook her head.
“You don’t need a Keeper anymore.”

That night, in the oldest sector of Neo-Lagos, a poem appeared on every screen.
It had no title. No author.
Just eight words:
The future belongs to those who write it.
Some said Eka left the city.
Some said she entered the Algorithm itself.
Others claimed she became myth.
But the truth is simpler.
She walked forward.
Into tomorrow.
