Ghent Railway Station.
The air was filled with the burnt smell of coal, and travelers were bustling among the crowd. Some were lining up for tickets, others were dragging heavy luggage. Men, women, young, and old—all had faces written with the excitement and anticipation of returning home. Some even raised their hands in cheer as soon as they got off the train.
They were the people who had fled the city before it was occupied by the German Army.
They thought they might never return to their hometown in this lifetime, but one day, when they opened their eyes, they suddenly heard that the Germans had surrendered and Shire had recaptured this land.
So, they could return to the place they constantly thought of.
