Zara's gift

"I've already received enough gifts to last me well into the next century," Zara said with a gentle, heartfelt smile, nodding toward the stack of intricate tablets cradled in her arms.

She knew her father wasn't the type to give things without purpose. Every tablet he handed her surely held the seeds of a grand vision — solutions to problems she hadn't even encountered yet. And while she deeply appreciated the thought and brilliance behind each one, she also knew they would open the door to countless new challenges. Every idea he introduced would branch into more departments, more responsibilities, more breakthroughs… and more sleepless nights.
