The morning sunlight spilled into the living room, casting a warm, inviting glow.
Xin and his family sat in the living room, the events of the previous night still fresh in their minds. They were watching the news on the large flatscreen TV mounted on the wall, and their attention was riveted to the screen.
On TV, a serious-faced news anchor stood in front of a charred building, its blackened exterior contrasting starkly against the clear blue sky.
The headline at the bottom of the screen read, "Devastating Fire at the mass condominium in Area 70."
"Good morning, everyone. I'm Jane Miller, and we're reporting live from the scene of last night's fire," the news anchor began, her voice somber.
"Authorities have confirmed that the fire was caused by faulty wiring in the building, which was already old and lacked proper fire safety measures."
