South Moves First; Two More Lights
# South Moves First; Two More Lights
The new week opened, and the south would not rest. On August 2 and 3 the south border pushed twice; houses came with it. The grid recalculated. A few buildings changed their power face.
On the fourth the north took its turn. Fifty-five tiles, then fifty-five again, and six single-tile houses stood up. North and south took turns stretching. The city turned in bed—one side pressed down, the other rose.
Before dawn on the seventh the log recorded two quiet notes: House 18 powered. 杜王町 18号 powered. Lights do not shout. They simply appear. A house with light looks less far at night.
Through the week the map grew from three thousand four hundred ten tiles to three thousand five hundred seventy-five. Walked ground climbed past sixteen hundred. Controlled buildings went from six to seven. Powered buildings stayed at eleven. Twenty-four players. Character counts barely moved. Three flags still hung: JOJO, 灰轨同盟, 荒原狼群.
The weekly board kept one name. 荒木 reached one hundred four damage and took first place in damage when the week settled. The kill column blank. The troll hero board blank too. Hands moved. The city grew. The list stayed short.
Two more lights on the south line. The road is still long. The night is still the night.
