The townsfolk of the afterlife town had all dispersed.
Though the "deceased" could hardly believe this outcome, it had indeed occurred.
Their leader, Oren, had publicly confessed to his crimes, proclaiming to all who believed in him that he had deceived them.
It was an unprecedented blow.
How desperately these "deceased" had wished for Oren to deny the words of the Netherworld Judge.
If that were the case, they would have united to defend Oren, to confront the Netherworld Judge.
But nothing had gone as they wished.
The "deceased" had placed all their hopes in Oren, even seeing him as part of themselves, only to end up with such a result.
If even such a defiant person as Oren could be brought down by the Netherworld Judge... what about them?
Reflecting on their lives, perhaps they should have stayed at the Sighing Plain?
