By six in the evening, everyone had returned to the base and sought their own rest, with some using the communication system that Dawn had kindly opened to catch up with friends. Dashuang learned that his sister Ershuang had decided to exit Hardcore Mode, and Ershuang encouraged Dashuang to find his footing in Shadow. Starlight and Sunlight engaged in a group call with Yellow Hair and Fire Dance that lasted 40 minutes.
After the call ended, Sunlight and Starlight had a talk in the parking lot. Straight after, Starlight approached Stone, "Uncle, I want to stay in Shadow and be a doctor."
Stone was initially taken aback. His thoughts were similar to Lin Wu at that moment, "Shadow is not mine; I can't recruit so many people. Besides, I don't want to disgust Lin Wu by bringing his ex-girlfriend and her husband here." Why should he bother taking in useless people who would just wear him down? He couldn't see the sense in it.
