Leon was back in Community G.
By the time he arrived, it was already evening.
Compared to a week ago, the community looked far livelier.
It was still the same community filled with malnourished Geneforms and Synths but compared to a week ago, even while still looking malnourished, there was a different gleam in the eyes of the people, the gleam of hope.
Children played with newfound freedom in the streets, traders went to the open market with hope, and the adults went to work with newfound enthusiasm.
And in the recent week, there were more job opportunities in the community.
Most able-bodied women in the community now worked in the cell tower base of the Freegrid Collective mostly as cleaners.
Leon already noticed the cell tower base from afar, it was no longer hidden and it was by far the singular most impressive structure in the community. And since it was built on top a hill, it could be seen from anywhere in the community.
