    Seventy-five years after the redistribution, Aurelia City had become a living monument to quiet transformation. The once cold, imposing towers now stood gracefully integrated with nature — their glass facades covered in thriving vertical forests, rooftops transformed into blooming meadows, and solar arrays gleaming like golden crowns under the sun.

The towers still stood tall, but they were now fully integrated into a living landscape—vertical forests cascading down their sides, rooftop meadows blooming with wildflowers, and solar canopies that turned sunlight into shared power. The river had become the city's quiet heartbeat: clear water flowing steadily, banks lined with mature trees and flowering shrubs, wide promenades where families strolled, artists sketched, and elders sat watching the current.
