In Sunpeak Town, the day went by relatively peacefully, much to many townspeople's surprise.
Besides the merchants negotiating prices aggressively with the locals, there weren't any noteworthy incidents during the daytime.
However, the more calm the day was, the more fearsome the townspeople believed the night would be. At the very least, they weren't expecting it to be a quiet night.
Anyone could sense the subtle tension and eeriness in the air.
At the start of sunset, the townspeople started ending their activities and packing up their stores ahead of their usual closing hours just so they could return home a little earlier.
But while the adults were busy with their preparations, conscious of the town's situation, the children continued to play tag on the streets without a care in the world, oblivious to everything.
