After breakfast, Shire habitually went to check on the motorcycle factory and then walked over to the tractor factory.
Matthew was conversing with his team of mechanics in front of a tank, a smile on his face as he gestured towards the tank.
Shire was pleased to see that the cheerful and lively Matthew of the past had returned, seemingly having forgotten the loss of his leg.
Upon seeing Shire and Dejoka enter, Matthew smiled and waved at the two, hobbling over to them.
Shire glanced around and noticed Matthew was holding only one crutch. Where was the other one?
"Don't look for it." Matthew laughed before he even reached them. "I left the other one at home. Two crutches are unnecessary and just a burden while working."
Shire nodded. It seemed Matthew had adapted to and accepted his current situation.
Shire pulled Matthew aside and said seriously, "The task I'm giving you is heavy, Matthew."
