-Children hold onto your hand, beaming out from under muddy faces as they point to a patch of scorched earth where once stood Halover's most beautiful gardens, and where countless butterflies swarm only to be hunted by swooping hawks. The birds keep flying up higher and higher, to the very top of the Alortz Library where the silver disks tilt and bird chatter flutters through the air.\\
+The underground alarms are ringing on the Resplendence, the highest-level threat looming. Locked and loaded, the Annihilation Gang has assembled thousands of warships and is ready to peel open this fruit of "Preservation" — eat its flesh and bone, while grinding its seeds to dust.\\
-You silently commit these words to memory, creating a mind map of the old Halover.
+The high walls of the Architects can finally demonstrate their role under close scrutiny. People praise you for your vision, but you can't help but feel a shred of loneliness deep inside. You, the builder of this fortress, are also the one who least wishes to see it put into action.\\
+In the blink of an eye, fierce artillery rains down on the barrier protecting the planet.
-> **You:** Rebuild the garden.
+> **You:** Fight back.
-> **You:** Rebuild the library.
+> **You:** Stay your ground.
-> **You:** Rebuild the world.

-You don't plan on giving anything up. Architecture can carry people's happy memories with it, and you are bound to see them recreated in your plan. Your records, words, and designs are all slowly coming together, and starships from all over the galaxy trickle through to you alongside rescue teams. The lofty towers soar higher than before, beneath which gables shall never see the scourge of homelessness. The potholes have all been filled, and a sense of apprehensiveness finally departs from those tormented eyes.
+A deafening roar was accompanied by violent tremors, signifying that the first line of defense had been breached. The shield covering the sky shattered under the withering attack, showering voluminous shards onto the second protective barrier.\\
+No longer under the sky dome's protection, the densely-packed weaponry on the second protective barrier unleashed free bursts of firepower on the enemy ships. Attack is the best defense — even the Architects know that much.
-> **You:** You feel happy.
+> **You:** Rush to the front line.
-> **You:** You feel sorry.
+> **You:** Command from the rear.

-There are still lots of places waiting for you to revitalize!\\
+For the first time ever, you've truly experienced the anxiety of slowing right down to "bullet time" as the battle rages day and night atop the vaulting walls of Resplendence. A group of Architects rushes up and, when the wall collapses, even more people flood the gap to become a part of the wall's foundation.\\
-The elderly hand over their precious photos to you, trembling as the scholars integrate the surviving data. Halover will become a brand-new city, but it'll still keep those little bits that people cherish most. Because you are the best urban restoration specialist there is — you won't leave any smile behind!
+The attacks of the Annihilation Gang grow ever fierce — but you know they have hardly anything left to give and have been forced to go all-in on this desperate battle for survival.
-> **You:** For protection.
+> **You:** Sun's coming up.
-> **You:** For remembrance.
-> **You:** For smiles.

-This garden has been burnt to a smoldering crisp. You stand there like a composer, gradually piecing together the future of the city.
+With the sky dome no longer up, resplendence gazes down on the land once more. You dream of Bavelli-3, those fallen smiling as they say goodbye beneath the amber glow.
