If we look at this year through the eyes of future generations, it's definitely a year with quite a sense of "comedy".
At the beginning, there were rumors of a great devil descending from the sky to destroy the world, followed by talks of planetary Great Cross heralding human annihilation and then suddenly, the legend of the "Millennium Bug" gained popularity in the streets and alleys - all these rumors were discussed as if they were very serious matters, while the people involved were utterly convinced, which is quite laughably absurd when you think about it.
Back then, the internet wasn't as developed as it is now, and places like Sancha River Village, which were relatively backwards, took such rumors especially "seriously" — or maybe people were just more "idle" and spreading rumors was their way of passing time.
