For the most part, tourists were now able to follow the rules. Uncivilized behaviors like feeding the animals or tapping on the glass had decreased significantly.
Yang Qi's patrol duties became much less stressful.
He still walked through the various exhibits every day, sensing for any trace of discordant fluctuations.
But most of the time, what he perceived were the stable or slightly weary emotions of the animals, along with the heightened but orderly excitement of the tourists.
Yang Qi focused more of his energy on the animals with a "prior record" or those that were particularly sensitive.
For instance, the alpaca "Sunflower" in the herbivore area had her mood stabilize significantly after being moved to a secluded back enclosure. Yang Qi made a point to detour past her every day to make sure she hadn't been "forgotten."
