After wrapping up everything and sending the volunteers home, it was dusk when Hao Ren brought Lorissa back to his home in the Southern Suburbs. The sparsely populated suburbs looked like a derelict neighborhood. Occasionally, there would be a few old ladies coming out for a stroll, or mischievous kids loitering around. Strays were a common sight near the trash bins and gaps between houses. These dogs and cats were minions of Lily and Rollie, patrolling their territories.
