Ronan Kendrick returned after being out for an hour. He had replaced The Undercity's water tank and checked the three underground tunnels, which currently had no issues.
"Quincy has met quite a few people. They're playing cards. He asked me for some books, a tablet, and a charger to pass the time, so I brought them to him."
Evelyn Ford had been worried that Quincy wouldn't get used to living in the underground tunnels, but it turned out his ability to adapt was as strong as ever.
"What about outside? Has the pollution gotten worse?"
Ronan Kendrick nodded. "Even I can't see the road clearly anymore."
Evelyn's heart grew heavy. "The trees we planted… they'll be okay, right?"
"I checked on them. The trees are fine. Don't worry too much."
They had done all they could; now they could only leave it to fate.
