In the schools, classes were still being held. However, the teachers' attitudes in the classrooms had obviously shifted. Even the most stern professors began to turn a blind eye to the occasional restlessness of some students.

There's a saying about sharing weal and woe, and at this moment people deeply felt its significance.
Even those who typically loved to complain, characterized as "eating their fill and cursing their mother," had forgotten their usual dissatisfaction with life and everything around them.
Everything was directed toward that country on the other side of the planet.
