For three hours, Ivory took refuge in an underground bunker.
In the room that housed at least one thousand two hundred civilians, Ivory sat restlessly with her sister. Nora finally came to her after checking and kept holding her sister's hand tightly. She was just as scared as Ivory, but she tried to calm her sister's nervousness with reassuring words.
No matter how much Nora tried to calm Ivory down, the girl couldn't. She would occasionally stand up and walk to and fro without letting go of the flower pot she was carrying. She was about to return to bed when a massive explosion hit her ears.
During these three hours, Ivory had counted hundreds of times, hearing the sound of eruptions, from small to large ones. Just by hearing it, she knew that things were not okay. She feels useless as the Secondary People who are predicted to be unique. It was so sad that she had to cover underground like a mouse.
