The world’s End: Way of depression

The weeks following the battle were a blur of grief and recovery. The settlement, though battered, stood resilient. Noah and Sarah worked tirelessly to rebuild what had been lost, both physically and emotionally. The community mourned the fallen, their absence a heavy reminder of the fragile nature of their existence.

Noah found himself drawn to Yuri's grave more frequently, seeking solace in the quiet solitude. He often sat there for hours, talking to her, sharing his fears and hopes. It was a way to keep her memory alive, to find strength in the love they once shared.

One crisp morning, as he sat by Yuri's grave, he noticed a small, tattered notebook lying in the snow. Curious, he picked it up and began to read. It was Yuri's journal, detailing her thoughts and experiences from their time together and the struggles she faced when they were apart.

As he read, tears welled up in his eyes. Yuri had poured her heart into the pages, her words a testament to her strength and resilience. She wrote about her fears, her hopes, and her unwavering belief in Noah. The final entry was written just days before her death, expressing her wish for a better world and her love for Noah.

Clutching the journal to his chest, Noah made a silent promise to honor her memory by continuing to fight for their community and to never lose hope.

Meanwhile, Sarah struggled with her own demons. The battle had left her scarred, both physically and mentally. She carried the weight of her responsibilities, often retreating into herself. The smiles and laughter that once came easily were now replaced by a haunted look in her eyes.

One evening, as the snow fell gently outside, Noah found Sarah sitting alone by the fire. He sat down beside her, placing Yuri's journal in her lap.
