While the people who were responsible for the destruction in the middle of the street were sleeping quietly after a long night of suffering, searching, and fighting, the city itself still seemed to be on high alert.
Meanwhile, others focused on repairing the streets and buildings, trying to keep order as reporters barged in with relentless questions, their voices sharp and accusing, echoing through the ruined blocks.
"This level of destruction… is that really something a human could cause?" one reporter shouted.
"We heard there was a survivor! Where is he right now?" another demanded, pushing forward as flashes from cameras painted the dust-filled air.
"Have you found the culprits who kidnapped people and cut them into pieces?" a woman screamed, her tone laced with horror and disbelief.
"Officer, tell us!! Do not stay silent!"
"Is this going to be similar to the previous incidents?"
"Are we all going to die just like in the previous province?"
