In Brussels the leaves had begun to fall, and a sudden wind blew them in gusts about the street. People felt the hidden chill of autumn in the air and wondered what would happen if the war were to last through the winter.

In Brussels, as autumn set in, the trees shed their leaves, and a brisk wind scattered them across the streets. The arrival of this season brought a noticeable drop in temperature, causing the locals to sense the impending chill of winter. An atmosphere of unease lingered, with many contemplating the dire consequences if the ongoing war were to extend into the colder months.

The changing weather not only marked the transition of the seasons but also served as a metaphor for the uncertainty and anxiety surrounding the conflict. The thoughts of the people were filled with concern about the future and the potential hardships that a prolonged war would entail during the harsh winter ahead.
