Consider the following lines from the poem, The Bright Lights of Sarajevo.

‘and often dodging snipers on the way,

or struggling up sometimes eleven flights

of stairs with water, then you’d think the nights

of Sarajevo would be totally devoid

of people walking streets Serb shells destroyed,

but tonight in Sarajevo that’s just not the case–’ (lines 6 - 11)

The speaker of the poem paints quite an ominous portrait of the city Sarajevo. However, and as the title suggests, there are still glimmers of hope in the darkness of war. Which word in the lines above marks a slight shift in the tone of total despair?

Type only the word (no quotation marks) to be awarded the full mark.
