It is a testament to their bravery that even in such dire circumstances, they found ways to improvise makeshift beds and sleep amidst the chaos. The composition highlights the stark contrast between light and darkness, symbolizing hope amid destruction. The dimly lit station provides some respite from the terror above ground but also serves as a reminder of the constant threat looming over them.
