Through the waves of invasion, the story explores how extreme circumstances transform human nature. The line between survival and maintaining one's humanity becomes increasingly blurred, raising questions about what truly defines us as human beings.

Despite overwhelming odds and unimaginable loss, the narrative emphasizes how hope becomes a form of resistance. Through Cassie's determination to find her brother, we see how personal connections and promises can provide the strength to persist against seemingly impossible circumstances.
