Vyra had seen it first hand, the chaos that came with all of it, the sudden rush for the people to respond to the shifting dynamic with an unrequited sense of rage. It had led to complete and utter madness. And what was worse was that so few people who were responsible and should have been held accountable for the incident were not there, were not punished. Even seldom few of the people whom took advantage of the situation, Vyra included in that group, did not find themselves punished. That was not to say that punishments were not carried out, and in the immediate aftermath, though relatively short after Vyra had left, but still late into the sequence of everything when put into the perspective of actually how long it had been afterwards, there were arrests made. People were held accountable, or at least as accountable as could have been put together.

At the docks now, the increased levels of security and oversight were the more reasoned response towards all of this. After the trials had proven to be ineffective at holding people accountable, the thing that most people had come to want, whether due to the financial impact that it had and was going to have on the city, or because of them having suffered personally or indirectly from the riot. They were not happy, had little reason to be happy about all of it. A lot of talking about holding people responsible, making sure that the guilty would pay, making sure that those who felt victimized could be made safe, these were all of the things that had been promised to them, and yet it was seeming more and more like they were just there to string along support. In the end, seldom few were held responsible to the degree that the people wanted.

It did not make it seem that things were actually better though, at least not at first. The riot had made people inherently distrustful, not just of the people who operated and essentially ran the docks but also the people that were supposedly in charge of the repairs and reformations that were to take place. And for a good reason, as well as the lack of tangible progress that had been made, it seemed that there was little hope that things were going to get much better. Even Vyra, who had often found solace and peace within the confines of the docks, she seemed to have a hard time believing that there was going to be much tangible progress within any near future. But in time, eventually she began to come to find that there were things being done. It was slow, perhaps a byproduct of the political machine that had to manage everything going, but over time it was becoming more obvious that the efforts to try to prevent a riot again were being put into effect.
