In the aftermath of the Miyake event, humanity was faced with a harsh new reality. The burst of high-energy radiation had disrupted electronics and communications systems worldwide, leaving entire cities without power and unable to communicate with the outside world. Many people had been caught outdoors or in unprotected structures during the burst, and there were reports of widespread injuries and fatalities due to radiation exposure. As the days and weeks passed, society began to fragment and break down. Those few who had been prepared fled to remote regions and made crude attempts to establish self-sufficient communities, using precious resources like canned food and gasoline sparingly in the hope that they might last long enough to rebuild. Others banded together in large cities, living by scavenging what they could and fending off attacks from desperate gangs of survivors. In this new reality, the old social structures and hierarchies were stripped away, and people learned to rely on their own instincts for survival. Some saw this as an opportunity for a fresh start, a chance to build a new society free from the trappings of the old world. But for others, it was a grim reminder of just how fragile our civilization really was, and of the ever-present threat of catastrophic events beyond our control. As time passed and the radiation levels subsided, humanity slowly began to pick up the pieces. New technologies and strategies were developed to help protect against future events like the Miyake burst, and communities were rebuilt with an eye towards resilience and sustainability. But the scars of that time would never fully heal, and the lessons learned would never be forgotten.
