Sherry, along with A-Dog, quickly left the area, while Duncan's gaze shifted away from the distant street corner and once again fell on the ruins of the factory.
After the Spiritual Body's fire had faded, the invisible veil closed once more, returning the factory to its previous "normal" appearance—the traces of the great fire were completely erased, and the ubiquitous ashes were hidden in the void.
Duncan's gaze slowly ascended, moving to the sky above the factory.
He imagined a gauzy curtain quietly covering everything around, shielding the truth beneath reality. Although there weren't many residents in District Six, a population of a few thousand still existed, and right under the noses of these thousands, an invisible veil had shrouded the truth for eleven years.
The residents here had even completely forgotten the fire in their memories—they only assumed that it was a "chemical contamination" from the factory that had led to the decay of their district.
