Perspective

"Did you experience any difficulty or troubles during the evacuation?" Rui found himself sitting before Alice, Julian and others of his generation in the Quarrier Orphanage.

Although he sought to treat everybody the same, he naturally was more attached to those members of the orphanage he had grown up with. The Quarrier Orphanage had grown so much in the past decade that he didn't know most of the new kids and the young adolescents personally.

Regardless, he treated them with love and affection.

It was his way of respecting his mother, who had done the same for him.

She was no longer here. Thus, he felt a sense of duty in ensuring that he did for others what she had done for him.

"No, we did not experience too many difficulties," Alice explained, drawing his attention. "The evacuation into the bunkers was executed quite smoothly, and we were safe and without any worries."
