Amidst the grief, the community's immediate response—through spontaneous memorials, volunteer aid for the displaced, and collective demand for accountability—embodied the unifying "Lion Rock Spirit." This solidarity, coupled with official pledges for thorough investigation and city-wide safety reforms, demonstrates how the city channels tragedy into a determined commitment to justice and a safer future, honoring the lost through positive action.
