The Valar announce that they've done as much as they can in Singularity (they can't bring back peoples' babies in that critical period either, but they can get them earlier versions) and are setting up portals between there and Sanity as soon as they are confident they've cleaned up the plague. A bunch of Elf architects have this wild idea for a fivedimensional city where alternating intersections are interdimensional portals between various Valinors and they get eagerly to setting it up.

"The last time you did this to him it made him organize a strike on gagging daeva! His viewership quadrupled! Has it occurred to you that you are maybe wrong about the consequences of your actions?"
