Officers, First Officers, and outer disciples practically celebrated together when the Healers declared an end to the crisis in City Five.
The patients most seriously affected by the fungus could not recover and would die in the next few days—a prediction of the Healers in the area. But 95% of City Five was safe, and the mood was optimistic after the lockdown was declared over.
Liam and his group didn't celebrate with the inhabitants of City Five. They left after daybreak, heading back to the inner wing in search of their rewards in City One.

However, they had killed a powerful plant with special characteristics and brought its remains with them. Not only that, they had actively helped solve the problem in City Five, which added to their already favorable situation.
