Back to Normal
The citizens had begun to adjust their schedules back to how they were before the disaster. Daily life had returned to normal, with the old habits and routines returning to how it once was.
The predominant working hours had returned to daylight, though it was to be implemented the next day, allowing for a bit of an adjustment period for everyone.
Basically, the first day after the Heat Wave had become an unofficial holiday before the production and operations geared up again the next day.
At the same time, there were also those whose lives had changed during the Heat Wave, and were now adjusting to a whole new normal.
For instance, Louie, Ramona's ex, was going on an afternoon market trip with his new love. "Ready?" he asked, standing patiently near the door of their apartment.
The woman appeared soon after, looking proper in her new sundress. Louie's eyes softened at the sight of her.
