With a click, the mural came to life. The painted suns began to glow, the dancers spun, and the lakes rippled. It was a masterpiece of art and technology, a fusion that mirrored the city's heartbeat.

The crowd erupted into applause, the sound rolling like thunder through the streets. James stepped forward, their hand reaching for Jordan's.
