I continued to watch the lake, locked in the image in front of me, as if I had forgotten the presence of Julian, Lucia, and Sue. It was in such a strange... harmony with the sounds of the festival that the lake itself and its contents were almost mesmerizing.
But... it was also because of this that I was able to notice something early on that I normally would not have been able to.
I suddenly caught a glimpse of something changing in the reflection of the lake. Something that appeared in the midst of all this beauty, independent of the lake itself and the festival... A tiny little light in the sky.
Lights were everywhere, in fact. There were even fireworks from time to time because of the celebration. Everything was already shining... But what I saw this time was different.
