days after
In the aftermath
Days after is a time expression indicating a period following a specified event or date, with the number of days left unspecified or to be filled in.
It appears frequently in news reporting and narrative contexts to establish when subsequent events occurred: Days after the hurricane, residents were still without power.
The phrase emphasizes temporal sequence while remaining deliberately vague about the exact interval, suggesting anywhere from two days to perhaps a week or more.
