The applause for Jackson echoed through the auditorium, a wave of warmth and admiration that seemed to carry even further than before.

Students, faculty, and visitors alike had been inspired by the youngest Parker’s insights, but the energy didn’t fade—another ripple of anticipation began to build.

The city, already alive with innovation and energy, seemed to pulse faster as word spread of their presence. Citizens had gathered along the elevated walkways, bridges, and terraces of the Hanging City, craning their necks, eager to catch a glimpse of the family whose courage had reached Mars and returned.The Hanging City was a marvel in its own right: a network of terraced buildings suspended above the main city streets, connected by sweeping pedestrian bridges and elevated transport lines. Its glass panels reflected the late afternoon sun, casting a shimmering mosaic of light across the crowds below. From the walkways, citizens waved, cheered, and projected holographic banners hailing the DragonBearer and his family. Even the digital billboards along the city’s central towers

Each carried an aura of intellect, authority, and curiosity honed over decades of research and teaching. They approached the podium one by one, shaking hands with Jack, Sarah, Matilda, Jackson, and Lena, each offering words of recognition, congratulations, and personal reflections on the Mars mission.Dr. Elara Chen, head of the planetary sciences department, stepped forward first.

    The standing ovation for Matilda gradually softened, leaving the auditorium buzzing with excitement and admiration. Even as the echoes of applause faded, the energy remained palpable, a charged anticipation that lingered in every corner of the room.From the cluster of students near the front, Lena Brooks rose quietly but decisively. Unlike Matilda’s poised intensity or Jackson’s earnest charm, Lena carried a grounded confidence, tempered by years of dedication and a deep curiosity that had always set her apart. Her path had been unconventional—once caught between the shadows of her family legacy and her own ambitions—but space had leveled everything. Here, she was no one’s heir, no one’s rival—just a scientist, an explorer, and a member of the Mars mission team.She moved forward deliberately, her steps measured against the polished floor, the soft clicks of her shoes cutting through the residual hum of applause. Students watched closely, leaning slightly forward as Lena approached
