"Yes, it's me. I'm fine. Long time no see." The moment he heard her answer, Dr. Jim's heart trembled uncontrollably. The dead had returned in a new form.

The Devourer's kin shriek as the Star consumes them, their essence fueling a new storm-one woven from my rage, my grief, my *regret*. The Weaver watches, her form fraying. *"You'll destroy everything."* "No." I grip Eden's shoulder, his blood mingling with the Star's light. "I'll rebuild." The storm erupts, not as destruction, but as creation. Petrified bones bloom into trees, the pool clears to reveal a spring, the marsh exhaling life instead of rot. The Veil knits itself, the sky healing. The Weaver's final whisper fades. *"You'll regret this mercy."*

"Five years ago I was not sure I had anything to defend. Now I know what I have created and why it is valuable." We stopped at a café, ordered coffee and pastries, watched Parisian life unfold around us. This was the life we had built. International exhibitions. Chosen family supporting us. Work that mattered. Partnership that functioned. "I am happy," I said, surprising myself. "Actually, sustainably happy. Not just in a moment but with the life we have created."
