In the morning, the villagers returned to their respective places full of emotion. The children were so happy to see their parents, and the senior citizens were glad to see their children back. However, not everyone is happy. Some had to mourn for their families who did not return. The giant statue's construction was so intense and strenuous that many died from exhaustion or work accidents.
A white dog ran and jumped into Aji's arms, who immediately stroked the animal with a bitter smile.
"Sorry, he's the only one we can find." Yua approached the old man.
Aji shook his head and widened his smile, even though his tears were falling. "It's not your fault…. Everything has happened. There's nothing more we can do. At least this child is safe."
