Inside the tailor shop.
Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
The Beast Tide hasn't breached the city walls yet!
Inside the tailor shop, the furniture remained untouched, the walls and windows were intact, and everything looked the same as when he first hid here.
What's going on? Could the Beast Tide not have come?
No,
That's impossible. The Beast Tide comes every year, and the storm clouds already blanketed the sky days ago. That's always the herald of its arrival.
Could it be...
Could those soldiers really have... truly...
Just then, faint voices drifted in from outside. The man hurriedly opened the barricaded door and stepped out into the street.
Surprisingly, the streets outside were also utterly unscathed. Not even a trace of a wild beast could be seen. Everything was as usual, untouched by ruin.
The man stood frozen in shock.
Meanwhile, many other citizens began to take notice as well.
