A week had passed since the tragic events, and Singapore had slowly begun to heal. The power outage that had plunged the city-state into darkness had been restored, and the streets were once again bustling with life.

The familiar hum of daily routines had resumed, and a sense of normalcy had returned.

As the city moved forward, the memories of the devastating tragedy still lingered, a poignant reminder of the lives lost and the families torn apart. But even in the midst of grief, there was a sense of resilience and hope, a determination to rebuild and move forward.

The investigation into the events leading up to the tragedy was ongoing, but for now, Singaporeans could take comfort in the return to normalcy, and the knowledge that they had come through one of the darkest periods in their history.

He approached the funeral altar, his eyes red-rimmed from grief. As he gently laid the flowers beside the photos, a toucan landed on his shoulder.

As the toucan nuzzled him gently, a gentle hand rested on his shoulder. His mother, an elderly lady, offered a comforting presence.
