章節 555: Loyalty doesn't mean you're agree with everything

During the first Sacred Morning, as the children enjoyed their holiday inside the house, the adults of L'Anaak Eed came out with their cleaning tools and gathered at their district's rally point. For those who lived in the central district, they gathered at the plaza in front of the courthouse.

They met with their neighbors on the way and talked this and that about their lives and what they were going to do for the holiday after the New Year's worship, grumbling and laughing with light steps.
