City of Dawn, Alliance Square.
Feather-like snowflakes float in the sky, and a towering stone monument stands in the center of the square.
This monument has been there since the establishment of the Alliance.
Its shape resembles a sword, pointing towards the sky, and the unfinished obelisk continues to extend upwards.
Every so often, it will extend a little further.
Sometimes it's one or two meters, sometimes it's as tall as several people stacked together.
Many names are engraved on that monument.
And each name carved there represents a memory of blood and glory.
Apart from commemorating sacrifices, this is also where the warriors of the Alliance triumph and receive medals...
...
Just like the 777th time Shelter No. 404 opened its doors, it's another cold winter this year, with the first snow falling before late autumn.
And now, as winter has just begun, feather-like snowflakes are floating from the sky.
