This night's event finally came to an end.
The families, upon leaving, felt reluctant. Yet the feelings of 'grievance, complaint, and injustice' vanished visibly.
Before leaving, they touched the tables and chairs of the Guardian Hall with affection, murmuring to themselves, words unknown. Tears brimmed their eyes.
Before stepping out the door, they placed another stick of incense before the monument, taking one last look at their relatives' names.
In their hearts, they silently said: You are glorious.
We are proud of you, we... are also glorious. Rest assured.
Do not worry about us anymore, rest easy, we will not complain anymore after returning.
You are heroes, and so are we!
Then, those further away were escorted in groups by the experts of the Guardian Hall to the reserved inns for rest.
Those living nearby went straight home.
Those from other regions would be escorted home the next morning by the experts of the Guardian Hall, handing over to the local Guardian Hall.
