Frontside Garden, Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
10 minutes until midnight.
Theo, Aurora, and the others were seated at the comfortable benches amidst the winter garden.
The weather forecast for the night foretold that snow could fall at midnight, but so far there was no indication of a snowstorm. Even though the weather was windy and chilly, everyone was able to observe the beautiful night sky. Which was fortunate, as a snowstorm would blow everyone's plans.
The fireworks show would not be able to happen without a clear sky.
That's why everyone was excited as they observed the night sky.
They were so mesmerized by the moment and the place that they didn't even notice the freezing cold.
They talked between themselves and laughed as they waited for the year to end.
The present was becoming the past as they waited for a brand new year in their lives.
