panacea
Amani stood with a collection of community leaders, in front of a large band of red tape. It covered the entry arch into a newly constructed park. The intiative had been influenced by Alicio's Sanctuary City, and all the good it had brought to the galaxy's displaced peoples. There was a statue in the center, representing cooperation and goodwill that surpassed superficial boundaries. The park itself was small, but the effort was worth commending. The Organas had no direct involvement in its construction, but as the newest member of the family, Amani took it upon herself to endorse the park, hoping to get more involved in the Alderaanian side of her life.
Each figurehead took their turn addressing the crowd with brief, appreciative speeches. And once they were all done, the novelty-size scissors were handed over to the Countess, who snipped the red tape away, marking the park's official opening. Applause was given, handshakes were exchanged, and the event soon dispersed throughout the park itself. Amani drifted away from the more political mingling, instead watching as kids were already climbing the playground. She found a soft smile at the sight, envisioning her own children one day doing the same.
