By the morning after, Aren could stand without resistance.
A small perk that the professor didn't tell him was how quickly he'd heal. Well, it seemed obvious in hindsight, but it was something Aren appreciated nonetheless.
The stitches still pulled if he moved too quickly but at least he could walk now, and that was enough.
With the help of a crutch, Aren managed to limp outside.
The medical tents had grown less chaotic since he first woke. Smoke no longer blotted out the sky entirely, though a faint haze still lingered in the distance where entire blocks and skyscrapers once stood.
Sun City no longer felt like the place he had grown up in. But on the bright side, it was completely different to what he remembered in his past life. There were still people…
Those who cried and mourned for the deceased, those who were injured but still alive, and those who still looked forward to a brighter tomorrow.
