Everyone as uneasy as it was, had begun to return back to life as it was. Trying to get back to normal after a monster outbreak was a little more difficult than usual. There were still fears lingering among people that the victory was shortlived and that the higher ups were not telling the truth.
And this was compounded by the fact that the barrier generators were not up and running. But the fact that most of the soldiers came back safe and sound was a testament that they had won the battle. Some continued to mourn as the sight of their fellow loved ones never came back but generally the mood was lighter than the day before.
