No one believed in God anymore.
Not after the wars. Not after the code replaced the cross.
Faith was ancient.
Hope was banned.
Love was... inefficient.
But curiosity?
That still existed.
Three scrap kids — Mira, Kio, and Jax — found something strange under a dead church.
A chip. Still pulsing.
When Kio plugged it into his wrist console,
every screen in the block went white.
"For God so loved the world..."
The words shimmered like code, burning across the city skyline.
Three seconds. Then blackout.
Government sirens screamed.
Drones lit up the sky.
They didn't know what they'd found—
only that it made them feel something the world hadn't in decades: TRUTH and HOPE.
Mira whispered, "What did we just do?"
Then, across the city, every neon sign glowed at once—and in the reflection of the kids' wide eyes, crosses began to form on every screen in the city.
