+// "Scene Singleton Pattern" or "Local Singleton Pattern"
+// It differs from the traditional "Global singleton pattern", 
+// The purpose of "Scene Singleton Pattern" is to ensure that there is only one instance of the class in a given scene, but it does not require that instance to persist across scenes. 
+// This pattern is useful when you need to manage certain assets or features in a single scene, but you don't want those assets or features to remain present when the scene is switched.
