As the dust settled and the echoes of battle faded away, a sombre silence descended upon the tunnel. The survivors stood amidst the carnage, their faces etched with exhaustion and despair.
Aina, Raju, Sushil, Emma, and I looked around at the grim scene, each of us grappling with the weight of what had just transpired. The air was heavy with the scent of blood, the metallic tang mingling with the stench of death.
For a moment, none of us spoke, the gravity of the situation weighing heavily on our hearts. We had fought tooth and nail to survive, to overcome the challenges that had been thrown our way. But in the end, victory had come at a great cost.
The realization washed over us like a tidal wave, leaving us reeling in its wake.
No one was talking with each other.
Everyone was still shocked about what happened that day.
..And just like that night comes.
It was a very long night for everyone.
