Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

Holly continued staring at the horizon for a moment after the last wave of shadows were defeated. She couldn't sense anymore, but she had reason to doubt the effectiveness of her senses. Once it was clear that there were no more coming, she took a moment to survey what remained of the area. The fields were thoroughly burnt, frosted and sliced among other things and there were several large holes from Vice's pit traps and her explosives. It would take awhile to repair that kind of damage, and even then it probably wouldn't be able to grow anything for awhile. The house still looked completely in tact though, which was the important part in the end. She folded her arms and turned towards the group.
"Good work everyone," she said with a nod. Holly then moved over to the farmer and put a hand on his shoulder. "You fought well. I hope you'll be able to find some amount of peace in the city. I'll drop by here occasionally to make sure this place is still standing. Let's go."
With that, she started to make her way back to the city, occasionally turning around to make sure the farmer was still following her and hadn't changed his mind. She wasn't sure how much money he had saved, but Holly had enough in excess that she could at least help him out until he was able to get back on his feet. He had lost a lot to the shadows, she didn't want him to lose more.
With the last series of attacks finally being thrown out at their enemies, the ever so satisfying image of the shadows being blasted to bits had finally signalled the end of this particular mission. Returning to the main group, the young man returned the blonde's chorus of praise with his own. It wasn't like he did this on his own, far from it even. Still, with pretty much everything they had to do now wrapped up and done with, all they needed to do now was to head on back to the civilised part of town and hopefully get the old man adjusted again.
On the same train of thought that the other User was on, Vice had tried to at least think up of ways that he could help the old man out. This kind of life style, fighting the shadows on your own without even having a persona to help you out was dangerous. He understood the old man's capacity though, and at the very least was impressed with his performance. Keeping pace with the quiet farmer, Vice decided to at least give the old man some company for the trip back home and had opted to hang back to make sure nothing else would get the jump on them.
