And stared.
An old man, 80 years old, walked to Kael.
Touched his Void Suit.
"You... you’re the Trash God?"
Kael took off his helmet.
"I’m Kael."
The man cried.
Fell to his knees.
Kael pulled him up.
"Don’t. We build together."

*`[Problem 2: Disbelief]`*
Country 11 - Brazil - said no.
"You’re lying," their president said on call.
"No one builds that fast."
Kael went alone.
Landed in Rio.
In the middle of a favela.
Built 1 house.
In 10 minutes.
In front of 1 million people.

`[Location: Nigeria]`
`[Casualties: 5 Students]`
`[Injured: 20]`
Kael went quiet.
For 1 hour.
Then he stood.
"Find them."
Ren’s team found them in 12 hours.
8 people.
Brought to the Academy.
Kael looked at them.
In the courtyard.
"Why?" he asked.
Voice calm.
"Because it’s wrong," one said.
"One man shouldn’t have that power."
Kael nodded.
Then he pointed to the ground.
"Build your way out."
For 3 days they built a prison.
From scrap.
Around themselves.
No one helped them.
No one fed them.
On Day 4 they stopped.
And apologized.
Kael let them go.
_Part 4: Day 22-28 - The Breakthrough_

`[Broadcast: GLOBAL]`
`[Viewers: 3.2 Billion]`
Every screen.
Every phone.
Every TV.
Kael’s face.
He looked tired.
Eyes had bags.
But he was smiling.
"Hi," he said.
"30 days ago, I came back from The Void."
"Alone."
"Today:"
The screen changed.
`[20 Countries Have Clean Water]`

`[2 Million Lives Saved]`
Back to his face.
"This is The New World."
"We built it. Together."

He paused.
"And we’re not stopping."
The broadcast ended.
And the world cheered.
For 10 minutes straight.

With tea.
She set it down.
He woke up.
"How long?" he asked, voice rough.
"2 hours," she said.
He rubbed his eyes.
"Tired?" she asked.
"Good tired," he said.
She sat next to him.
"You changed the world," she whispered.
He shook his head.
Looked at her.
"We did."
She leaned on his shoulder.
Outside:
The sound of building.
At midnight.
80,000 students.

The statue glowed.
New words carved themselves into the stone.

At the stars.
