INT. CITY HALL - DAY
Lila stands in the council chambers, once again presenting her case. Her voice is calm but authoritative, speaking with the weight of someone who has saved the city more than once.

The Architects may be gone for now, but their ideology lives on. We need to prioritize education, outreach, and community rebuilding efforts. The more we engage the people, the less room we leave for fear and manipulation.
Councilor Hart sits back, watching her closely. His smile is polite, but his eyes reveal a deeper, more calculating intent
Mr Hart
You’ve done remarkable work, Lila. But you must understand there are those who feel this city is becoming too… idealistic. They want strength. Discipline. A government that doesn’t hesitate when it comes to security.
Mr Hart
We need to ensure that we are prepared for any threat. It’s nice to dream of unity, but sometimes, a firm hand is necessary to maintain order.
