Yarin's POV:
It took a few minutes for the convoy to gather. I tried to find Lily in the crowd but couldn't see her even when the convoy set off again.
I didn't have much time. The parade was still halfway there. I couldn't see that familiar figure, and I couldn't suppress the anxiety in my heart.
"Hey, have you seen Lily?" I touched Heller, who was helping Denise put petals into the basket as I asked him to observe the crowd for me, "I didn't see her. There are too many people. My eyes almost blurred."
I tried to use my pheromones to determine Lily's location, but no one would be rude enough to let their pheromones harass others on such a festive occasion. Flowers and perfume mixed up the surrounding smells, so I couldn't even find a trace of the pheromone that had inadvertently leaked out.
After a long while, Heller said, "Me neither. Is Lily tired? Did she take the sightseeing bus to the destination first?"
