Location: Sector 5 – Public Innovation Fair
Time: 10:45 AM
The open plaza buzzed with life. Booths lined the walkways—handmade machines, AI poetry generators, sustainable food tech, and memory gardens.
Kaen wandered without a schedule, hands tucked in his coat pockets, watching.
Two teenagers were arguing by a drone station.
> "It's not copying old world tech. We're adapting it."
> "You're ignoring the ethics board standards!"
Kaen paused nearby.
The boy noticed him and asked with the earnestness of someone who didn't know who he was:
> "Mister, what would you do?"
Kaen raised an eyebrow.
> "Are you asking because you want the right answer… or because you don't want to be the one blamed?"
The girl grinned.
The boy frowned.
> "Thought so," Kaen added, smiling. "Try again."
He moved on, leaving them in thought.
He didn't need to tell them what to build.
