Chapter 41: An Unbound Love Story

John and Marie stood in their research lab one sunny day. The lab had evolved into a cutting-edge facility made possible by foundation funding. Dr. Petrova, whose hair was already flecked with silver, grinned at them as they showed off their most recent invention: a working prototype memory amplifier that was protected by a complex network of security measures. Something lightened John's load as he raised the prototype. The memory amplifier, which had previously stood for devastation and terror, was now a sign of hope, a living example of the strength of love, bravery, and unflinching faith in a brighter future. They arrived to a location where technology benefited mankind rather than the other way around as a result of their trip, which began in a dangerous environment. And there, in the warm light of the afternoon sun, John realized that their love story was safe, just like the memory amplifier they carried inside them - a monument to the might of virtue triumphing over evil.
