I smiled as I returned home. The war had entered a ceasefire, allowing us to return home. Although the peace was only temporary, it felt like a precious gift. The familiar sights and sounds of Momotaro, the capital city of the Grand Duchy of Makkuroyama, filled me with a sense of relief and belonging that I had missed deeply during the months of conflict.
As I walked through the bustling streets of the suburb where I lived, I saw children playing, their laughter a welcome contrast to the harsh realities of war. Neighbors greeted me warmly, their faces reflecting the same relief and hope that I felt. It was good to be home.
I headed towards my small, modest house, my heart pounding with anticipation. It had been so long since I had seen it, and the thought of simply being in my own space again filled me with a deep, almost overwhelming emotion.
