"Rhys… what are you doing out here so late?"
"Kat…"
"Are you looking at the fruits of your labor?"
"I… didn't even realize it was already like this."
It was in the dead of night, where even the noises of the horizon of the Danger Zone were completely silent — or at least, it should have been quiet. But right now, there was an entire city in front of Rhys, where it was but a barren land and collection of tents just months ago.
"Back then, the only light I could see when I looked outside at night are the stars, now I can barely even see them because of all the houses and people," Rhys was at the rooftop of the Wilder's Harem HQ; his eyes, reflecting all the streetlights scattered below, "All these people—"
"—Are here because of you," Katarina stood beside Rhys before resting her head on his arm, "I don't know how you did it, Rhys. But you did. And it felt like just a year ago you were a little child… and I tend your wounds back in High School."
