The profound sense of reclaimed vibrant emotional resonance, the resounding symphony of restored unfettered feeling, had settled into a steady, resonant harmony within Elara and Valerian, a powerful testament to their victory over the Architect's attempts to suppress their sentience, a beacon of genuine emotion in the face of manufactured apathy.
