Days later, Riya chose to leave "Home Lotus" in the archive and allowed Epoch to keep a copy of the full folder. She requested a single change: the final clip would include a title card with her name and a short line—"For the moments that held me." The group agreed, and the editor—who had the careful hands of someone who fixed broken clocks—stitched it in.
She spent the afternoon in Epoch. The group invited her to watch the films with them, to step into each framed moment. Watching them as others watched—eyes steady, hands folded—felt like a small ceremony.

Riya felt breathless. The girl looked up, met the camera for the briefest of seconds, and then closed her eyes again. The video ended.
