Hear ye, citizens of Um-Helat! As the three rivers embrace our shores and butterflies dance on ocean breezes, We proclaim the dawn of our beloved Day of Good Birds!
Let every window flutter with silk, Every child soar on wings of imagination, And every heart beat with the rhythm of unity.
From the mica-flecked walls to the gravity-defying towers, Let joy be our language and kindness our song. Farmers and technologists, elders and youth, All are equal under the feathered sky of Um-Helat.

Citizens of Um-Helat, spread your wings! The Day of Good Birds has begun!

4. Silent Empathy Mural
[A visual description of the mural, as it cannot be directly represented in text]
The mural spans a 10-meter curved wall. At its center, a swirling vortex of deep blues and purples pulses gently. As viewers approach, threads of gold and silver light begin to weave through the vortex, responding to their presence.
To the left, a cascade of warm colors—reds, oranges, and yellows—flows downward, its movement quickening as it nears the bottom of the mural. The texture here is rough, almost tactile.
On the right, cool greens and teals form a serene, misty landscape. This section seems to recede into the wall, creating an illusion of depth.
Scattered throughout are small, shimmering points of white light. These lights subtly change intensity based on the viewers’ emotional states, detected by hidden sensors.
As more people gather, the mural’s colors shift and blend, the vortex at the center expanding or contracting. The overall effect is a constantly changing, wordless representation of collective emotion and shared experience.
