Christmas is over, and December 31st is over.

Perhaps to instill hope in people's hearts, Central Park was full of energy on the last day of 2031.

HQ screened movies and provided free food through food trucks, and unlike last year, Christmas trees with tens of thousands of lights were set up everywhere as if the blackout was a joke.

The makeshift movie theaters set up here and there wafted with the smell of cheese and popcorn, and inside, Home Alone was constantly playing. It was for the children and their parents who were few at HQ.

On the other hand, the places that were not like that highlighted the thorny path America has walked since the outbreak of the virus and how much the world needs people.

In order to rebuild the shattered infrastructure, recruit more people to defend HQ against external enemies, and to inspire patriotism among those already in the fold, numerous videos were shown.

Secretary Solomon, currently the highest-ranking civil servant in the Northeastern United States, the founder of Icarus, and the Secretary of Homeland Security who replaced the dismissed Webb, began touring around HQ in earnest around Christmas and giving speeches.
