Ceres finally arrived at Arayat Village and found just how bustling the place was despite the late evening. It didn't look like the quiet, remote village she had originally imagined. For a settlement located this far from the major cities, it was genuinely surprising to see a fully functional hospital, a school, a café, and various other establishments that one would normally expect to find downtown.
Nevertheless, Ceres moved forward smoothly, blending into the crowd since most people didn't pay any attention to her presence. Relying upon the precise directions and address that Tristan had sent her after a thorough investigation, Ceres finally reached the exact location she was looking for.
