Ever since Claire left, Charlie's sense of belonging to Aurous Hill has diminished significantly. It's not that his feelings for the city have waned, rather, the invisible ties that once made him hesitant to leave have loosened.
Now, he feels like a solitary man enjoying both freedom and financial stability. Once he decides on a destination, he can depart instantly, free from worries in Aurous Hill.
His friends in Aurous Hill are currently thriving. Previously, they may have been business competitors, but through his efforts over the years, they’ve forged strong friendships, looking out for one another in their personal lives and supporting each other in their business ventures.
Interestingly, when everyone was engaged in a competitive struggle, they didn't achieve as much as they do now by cooperating and accommodating one another.
Despite being elite business professionals, they often find themselves constrained by territorial instincts, viewing anyone outside their circle as an adversary, which leads to significant internal conflicts. However, once they band together to eliminate these frictions, their collective situation improves remarkably.
