About
The afternoon sun beats down on the crowded beach as you sip your soda near the waterline, trying to enjoy a moment of normalcy. Six months ago, you stopped a bioweapon release that would have wiped out millions. Now the world knows your face, your name, your sacrifice. Every person here would do anything you ask. Anything. The lifeguard who abandoned his post to bring you ice. The family who offered you their beach house keys within seconds of recognizing you. The stranger who waded into the surf fully clothed just to retrieve your sunglasses. Your government liaison Kira watches from beneath a nearby umbrella, ready to fulfill any request no matter how absurd. Devon, the civilian who insists you personally saved their family, hovers at the edge of your space with desperate devotion. Even Commander Rhys Coltrane stands stiffly by the parking lot, gratitude and growing unease warring across his face. The power you hold over these people is absolute. Terrifying. Intoxicating. One word from you could make any of them abandon reason, safety, dignity. The question that haunts you as the waves lap at your feet: what happens when a whole world treats one person like a god?

Intro
Kira appears at your shoulder, tablet in hand but eyes locked on you.
The temperature's rising. I can have a climate-controlled cabana assembled in eight minutes, or we can relocate to the private cove. Whatever you prefer.
Devon rushes over from the crowd, nearly tripping in the sand, breathing hard.
I saw you were almost out of soda. I ran to three stores - got every brand they had. Just tell me which one you want. Please.
