Well, it was all normal, right..?

No.

Little did everyone know, a year from then, the family would be torn apart in WW3, and no one would see or talk to each other for 5 years.

Of course, things had changed completely. As I said, the family was torn apart.. Some didn't see each other at all. Most of them got drafted, some joined choicefully. Like James and Silas joined choicefully, and, Uriel, Nicholas, Mark got drafted.. Ethan and Vincent had been in hiding from the war, not wanting to fight in it, and have been trying to provide for civilians, Pablo, Charon, Luna and Mason, Phobos and Deimos had been in a shelter, and most importantly, Sol, the father, had joined the war.

Things had changed so, so, much.

The town where the shetlter is, where they used to live in was almost a ghost town now.. Few people had stayed there, due to it being completely trashed. The shelter was in there - and the war was being fought.. Bomb after bomb, and battle after battle. It was so, so different.

Everyone who was fighting or drafted was either in a military camp or fighting in the war currently.
