Stacy stared at the city skyline.

---

“Everything is growing.”

---

Caelwyn nodded.

---

“Yes.”

---

“Tourism.”

---

“Yes.”

---

“Industry.”

---

“Yes.”

---

“The population.”

---

“Yes.”

---

“The stress.”

---

A pause.

---

“Also yes.”

---

The city shimmered beneath the summer heat.

---

Construction cranes filled the horizon.

Traffic never stopped.

The lights never went out.

---

Everything was working.

---

Too well.

---

Stacy frowned.

---

“People keep talking about monsters.”

---

Caelwyn looked out the window.

---

“People always do.”

---

Another pause.

---

“What if they’re right?”

---

The old mage smiled sadly.

---

“What if they are?”

---

Sirens echoed somewhere in the distance.

---

The city continued celebrating itself.

---

Growing.

Expanding.

Consuming.

---

Always more.

---

Stacy looked down at the reports.

---

Violence.

Exhaustion.

Breakdowns.

Failures.

---

Then she looked back at him.

---

“What if the monsters aren’t the disease?”

---

For the first time, Caelwyn’s smile disappeared.

---

“What if they’re the fever?”

---

Silence.

---

Outside, the city continued to burn with life.

---

Inside, both understood the same terrible possibility.

---

The most dangerous thing in the world might not be the correction.

---

It might be everything that made the correction necessary.
