Perched atop the Tripod building, we find ourselves enveloped in the opulence of the Grand Hall, a sanctuary of high society and the stage for Kelly's birthday celebration. Kelly is no ordinary girl; she is the offspring of untold wealth in the flourishing Green Area of Atlantis. The scent of expensive perfumes mingles with the aroma of gourmet dishes, filling the air with a decadent richness that's almost intoxicating.
But amidst the sumptuous revelry, tension looms. The second round of some unspoken competition is about to begin. Ah, life's dichotomy! Miracles and tragedies may grace us, but the drumbeat of life persists.
Whether faced with apocalypse or empty pockets, the unforgiving maw of hunger is relentless. It begs to be satiated, or else it threatens death. In this ceaseless cycle, life insists that we move forward, carrying our hopes, fears, and bellyaches with us.
