As the clock struck 9 pm, the first Yukihime Club Festival officially came to an end. The students, who had poured their energy and creativity into making the event a success, now faced the less glamorous task of cleaning up their club venues. Though exhaustion tugged at their limbs, the sense of accomplishment from the past two days drove them to see their duties through to the end.
The sky, once lit up with the final burst of fireworks, was now a deep indigo, dotted with stars. The vibrant energy of the festival had dissipated, leaving the school grounds quieter, save for the sound of chatter and laughter as students began the process of dismantling their booths.
