Chapter 125 Where The Light Remains

• One year after the Solar Freeze ended, Talawan no longer trembled beneath the sky.
• It did not trust it completely — perhaps it never would again — but it no longer flinched at light.
• The city had not returned to its former shape. Whole districts remained open scars of concrete and twisted steel. The skyline was uneven where towers had collapsed and were never rebuilt to their former height. Streets had shifted with the thaw; drainage canals cut new paths where ice had once sealed everything solid.
