"It's pretty silent, huh?"
"Of course. Everyone's at the café, just as the boss predicted."
The first thing Rego and Baldas noticed when they returned to town were the empty streets and the desolate silence.
Vanitapolis was usually pretty quiet and peaceful, but not like it was at the moment. No matter how calm the city was, there were always people sleeping on the streets or resting against housewalls and drowning in boredom and apathy. However, not a single soul was anywhere to be found anywhere on the first few blocks of Vanitapolis.
That in itself would have been surprising if Rego and Baldas didn't already know the reason. And it was even more so when contrasted by the view of everyone in town clumped together in front of the Skies of Light Café.
