_________________________________
     It's been two days since the storm. To make sure that the storm passed Wu went down a few steps from the monastery and took a peak. He could see clear clouds and people from the horizon.

He went back up to the monastery and told Misako and her mom what he saw. Misako and her mother packed up their things and started to head down the mountain of a million steps. When they reached the bottom they already saw their neighbors coming back.

They saw most of their neighbors homes destroyed. When they reached their home, the whole house was destroyed. Misako and her mother were in such disbelief, they couldn't believe what they were seeing. Misako went through the pile of wood and debris to find some things that could be salvaged. She found a picture of her father, mother and herself together and sighed.

She then found a picture of her father with his military uniform on and she started to cry. Her mother grabbed her and they hugged for a long amount of time.

In the distance they heard bulldozers coming in their direction and everyone moved out the way. The bulldozers started to pick up the remains of the homes. The mayor came to inform the neighborhood on further instructions.

Mayor: Good Evening everyone. I know that the damage from the storm was severe, but I managed to make sure that every home is built up again. It may take a few months. So that's why I recommend for you all to stay at the inn not to far from here. There you will be given the best care and hospitality until your homes are ready.

The mayor then instructed the neighbors on where the inn was and they started to travel in a big group. When they reached the inn it was just like a hotel. The person at the front desk knew who the people we're and she got a big group of employees to escorted them to their rooms.

Late at night, Misako got up from her bed and went out to the balcony. From the balcony on her left she could see the empty area where her home used to stand and on her right she could see a light above the clouds knowing that it was the monastery. She then went back inside and grabbed the picture of her father and went back outside to look at the shining stars above while holding the picture of her dad close to her heart.
