I exited the portal, filled with beautiful visions. It was inspirational... but I still needed answers.

"You saw how tokenization could transform CryptoAnime," said Animod. She ran her hand across a bank of panels. They rippled like water. I asked why they did that.

She explained all destinations in the Metaverse are made from liminal space panels. They can become anything but need "the Triunity" - a perfectly-balanced mixture of creativity, capital and humanity - to realize their potential.

I asked if my mission was to find this Triunity. She said "You are the mission."

I was dumbstruck. She gestured into the darkness behind her: it lit up to reveal ten empty digital pods, connected by cables to a larger central chamber. Animod requested I enter the chamber and undergo "Aesthetic Fission."

She explained this intense, high-speed process would explore all my potential artistic paths. This would determine if I had the creative substance needed to make the tokens vital to CryptoAnime's survival.

With trepidation, I asked how dangerous it was. She said if my artistic core wasn't strong, I would dissolve into nothingness. "You must decide for yourself," she said.

Why is it so hard to be a hero?
