Every day seemed to pass in a flash. Before one could even recover from one's daze, several days had already gone by.
In December, the Federation grew increasingly cold. The Federal Government had already sent large quantities of cold-weather supplies and funds to the central and northern regions of Maliro, but a huge number of refugees had already appeared along the border between the Federation and Maliro.
