Although the New Year no longer held much meaning for people living in a world like this,
to some, the arrival of the New Year meant that another year had passed, and that they were one year closer to the day of the end.
Even so, plenty of people were still indulging in the pleasures of the moment.
Regan spent New Year's Eve with numerous researchers at the institute, and no one discussed anything related to research that day.
Because Jin had used up a large amount of Meat Potion during the battle and could not find William during the New Year celebrations, she had no choice but to spend the entire night alone in her room making Meat Potion.

Before they knew it, they began discussing Deslin's family of origin,
