On the morning of the hearing, Nolan dressed in the navy suit Mara had picked out weeks earlier, folding his old training jacket carefully and tucking it into a leather bag before stepping toward the tall doors of City Hall. Gideon asked quietly whether he felt ready for what was about to happen inside that room. Nolan answered without hesitation, telling him he had been ready since the moment Vivian first asked what exactly he thought he was going to do.Outside the hearing room, Vivian spotted Nolan approaching in his suit and offered a tight, confident smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. She told him plainly that by the end of the day, she intended to see him lose both his program and any remaining influence over the park's future.The hearing room itself was already packed with reporters, concerned residents, and representatives from four powerful local families, all gathered beneath fluorescent lights that made the tension in the air feel even sharper. Chairs scraped against tile, papers rustled, and somewhere near the back, a child fidgeted loudly enough to draw a hushed reprimand—the ordinary noise of a room about to decide something extraordinary.Vivian arrived flanked by a team of attorneys and media consultants, along with members of the Sterling, Blackwell, Whitmore, and Kingsley families seated prominently near the front. Nolan walked in with only Gideon beside him, carrying nothing more than a single folder and the quiet steadiness that had unsettled Vivian from the very beginning.
