Rain had spent some time in NQSC, catching up with old friends and going on a little trip down memory lane. The latter, sadly enough, did not feel as meaningful as she had expected it to. She spent her entire childhood in this vast, ancient city… but, strangely enough, it did not feel like home anymore.
Her family had long left the cradle of humanity for Ravenheart. In their absence, NQSC just felt… empty. It was far more developed and technologically advanced than any city in the Dream Real, true — and on Earth as well, for that matter. But maybe because Rain had spent a great amount of time away from this dying world, she could not help but feel that everything here seemed shabby.
The air was stale. The space was limited. The buildings were colorless and oppressive. The people were stressed, and everywhere she looked, there were signs of decline and decay.
