Alina City, the same night, around 10 pm. 

Unlike the clear weather of the C Empire, the whole city was colder than usual due to the heavy downpour. The lights were as colorful and lively as ever. In fact, as the unending droplets of water danced with the neon colors and flashing lights from the shops and vehicles, the sight all over Alina had a different charm on it.

However, even if the streets were clogged with cars and boisterous due to the honking noises and pitter-patter sounds, it was still a lot colder than usual.

If viewed from a high location, the assortment of umbrellas moving about the place was quite the feast to the eyes. Still, it couldn't be denied that the sidewalks were a bit lonelier than ever and not as populous as before.
