The air thickened and shimmered with divine essence as Chang-myeong entered the room. He carried the weight of global adoration, a stark, luminous contrast to his friend you, whose last remaining sanctuaries had been sold and flattened into shopping malls. Their friendship defied the celestial hierarchy. Today was you's birthday, and the silence was a wound. Chang-myeong had resolved to mend it. He had orchestrated this moment in secret.

Lights erupted, painting a surprise celebration that existed for one being alone: the lowly god he refused to let be lowly any longer.
