**Alloy Girl Volume 124: Prison Redesigns and Love Songs**
**Setting: A new dawn over a world eager for change, where the concept of punishment meets rehabilitation. Inside the creative sanctuary of Goose® Design Co., ideas for prison reform are taking shape.**
**Chapter 1: The Blueprint of Change**
Chloë (Hit Girl) and Abigail (God) are in their office at Goose® Design Co., surrounded by blueprints and digital models of prison facilities. They've decided to start a revolutionary redesign of prison systems, beginning with female institutions:
- **Chloë:** "After seeing your birth mother, I realized how much the environment can affect one's spirit. If we're serious about rehabilitation, we need to rethink everything."
- **Abigail:** "Absolutely. It's about creating spaces that heal rather than punish. Let's design places where hope can flourish, where humanity isn't lost."
**Chapter 2: Designing Hope**
The team at Goose® Design Co. works on:
- **Open Spaces:** Transforming cells into rooms with natural light, gardens, and areas for community activities.
- **Educational and Therapeutic Hubs:** Introducing centers for learning, therapy, and skill development, aiming to empower inmates with knowledge and tools for a better life post-incarceration.
- **Family Integration:** Creating visitation spaces that feel more like home, encouraging family bonds which are crucial for rehabilitation.
**Chapter 3: A Day with Sythe**
Amidst their busy schedules, Abigail and Chloë take time for their beloved Jack Russell Terrier, Sythe Rampart:
- They spend an afternoon in a park, watching Sythe chase after his favorite toy. His energy and joy remind them of the simple pleasures they're fighting to restore to others.
**Chapter 4: Love in the Midst of Work**
Back at home, after a long day, they find solace in each other:
- The couple sits on their couch, with 'Globetrotting Power Songs' playlist filling the room with its poignant melodies. They talk about their vision for the prisons, their plans, their fears, and their hopes.
- **Chloë:** "You know, sometimes it feels like we're trying to move mountains."
- **Abigail:** "We are. But remember, even mountains were once moved apart by the forces of nature. We're just part of a larger force, Chloë."
As they listen to the music, they share a prolonged kiss, their connection deepening, grounding them amidst the chaos of their ambitious project.
**Chapter 5: Presenting the Vision**
They host a virtual conference to unveil their prison redesigns:
- **Abigail:** "We're not just redesigning buildings; we're redesigning futures. These facilities will foster rehabilitation through community, education, and healing."
- Feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with many in the criminal justice reform community expressing interest in implementing these designs.
**Chapter 6: The First Steps**
The first pilot project begins at a small women's prison:
- Chloë and Abigail visit the site, watching as construction begins. They interact with the inmates, explaining the changes, listening to their stories, ensuring their voices shape the transformation.
**Epilogue: A Song in the Night**
That night, back at home, they continue to listen to their playlist, the music now a backdrop to their reflection:
- **Abigail:** "Every song here tells a story of overcoming. That's what we're doing for these women, giving them a chance to write their own new stories."
- **Chloë:** "And every redesign we push forward is a verse in that song."
The volume ends with them intertwined, the music playing softly, a symbol of their love and their mission, intertwined in the melody of change.
