"Tonight, the rain looks heavier than usual."
Erend muttered to himself while watching the rain from the terrace of his house.
Rain of this magnitude is of course something the residents of Slum don't like.
House tiles that are never tightly closed will eventually leak.
Water will enter the house uninvited and saturate the important parts. Like a mattress, or a shabby sofa that has been torn in several parts.
All the stuff they get from the trash. Most of the furniture is leftover furniture from people in the city area that they don't use.
Plans to relocate Erend and Billy's family are now silent.
Erend initially felt happy because he would leave this Slum environment and leave his rickety home. But until now no one has discussed their moving plans like what Billy said when he just came back.
"Maybe I should ask the General."
