Every year, the Sundeen Fest takes place in the area infront of the library.

The police put up lights all over the street, set up small stores on the sidewalks, set up a music stage for the rock musicians. The sun was near the horizon, the sky was getting darker, people were gathering near the fest. Teachers, students, adults, police, soldiers, residents, everyone. Dominic and Jasmin were there at a side, talking.

DOMINIC: Any other students survive besides us six?

JASMIN: I don't know what happened to Sophia or Emily. I witnessed Tyrone and Jacob killing Evan. Jasper and Sarah were killed in the Town Center. Ferguss and Rosie were killed by Riley. Tyrone was shot by a police officer. Jacob is in jail, probably alive.

DOMINIC: ....

The police and soldiers were also talking.

PETER: It's all over now, so, what do we do? What happens to us?

MARIAN: Honestly, should Sundeen's borders actually open?

LILLIAS: What do you mean?

MARIAN: We've been to the Outside World, what's out there, isn't what you would expect.

LILLIAS: ..... Now what does that mean?

MARIAN: Sundeen isn't ready for whats out there!

PETER: She's right, you know.

LILLIAS: So you want us to stay cooped up here forever?!

MARIAN: No I-

KISHI: .....

TSUGA: Kishi....

Tsuga was walking over to them. Kishi walked to Tsuga.

TSUGA: In just about ten minutes-

KISHI: I know... Mom, don't say anything.

A few minutes later, at the Town Center. Joey took Makoto's King Banner.

LYLA: Joey, what are you doing?!

JOEY: I was just trying to see how good the banner looks.

LYLA: But that's Makoto's.

JOEY: He won't be mad. Did you finish your book?

LYLA: Yes, I'll publish it later.

JOEY: Great!

In another room. Makoto and Holly were "changing" into better clothes.

MAKOTO: Holly, do I look?

HOLLY: You look amazing.

MAKOTO: I guess...

They stared at each other, Makoto walked up to Holly.

HOLLY: I'm sorry to have left you at the Town Center.

MAKOTO: No no, it's okay. I'm just glad you're okay without a single scratch on you...

Holly chuckled.

HOLLY: Yeah.

They stared at each other for a few seconds. Makoto put his arms around Holly's waist. Holly put her arms around Makoto's shoulders. They embraced each other and kissed on the lips. Just a quick kiss, they let go of each other, took a step back, and laughed.
