As the group entered Grand Cathia, they half expected a lively city but what they saw was the opposite.
Despite the giant sprawling towers, the marbled surfaces and the humming of machines, the group could tell some of the smiles and daily interactions were forced.
Everyone was trying their best to look happy despite being worried about the Nightmare.
A sister trying her best to hide her sobs while she mumbled about her brother.
A father who looked dead in the eyes as he realised his children can no longer return from the nightmare…
Lovers separated.
These were common sights next to people trying their best to survive this chaotic time.

Several eyes turned towards the group. Hints of anger and caution.
