Chapter 41- Party

That night, the atmosphere in the shelter was lively, the people had gathered under the glowing lights of the open square to celebrate. Music played, laughter filled the air, and a sense of peace, however temporary, wrapped around them like a warm blanket.

Darius stood on a makeshift stage, clapping his hands to gather everyone's attention. "Everyone," he announced, his voice loud and clear, "we've all been through a lot. And though we've lost someone irreplaceable… it's time to move forward. From today on, Randoff will take over Mr. Gabriel's responsibilities."

A respectful silence fell as Randoff stepped forward. He looked calm, his expression thoughtful. "Gabriel was more than just a leader to us. He was a symbol of hope. Let's carry that spirit with us. Let's continue working together to protect each other, and build a future worth fighting for. May he rest peacefully, wherever he is now."

Everyone bowed their heads for a brief moment of silence.
