No one could pinpoint the origin of the creeping fog that blanketed cities and highways, turning normal days into harrowing tests of survival. Experts wrestled with theories, but their words faded beneath the rising tide of fear and uncertainty. People learned to measure life not by clocks, but by distant sirens and the eerie taste of static that filled the air. The disasters shattered illusions of control, revealing how fragile their world truly was.
In the aftermath, a surprising resilience took root. Neighbors shared what little they had, turning empty halls into sanctuaries. The sky, once a mere backdrop, became a stark reminder of shared vulnerability and collective strength. Though no answers came, a new, unspoken bond emerged—rough, unpolished, yet impossible to forget.
