Between December and February, one simply cannot go, as the mountains are too cold for her frail body to withstand.
So, the best time to visit Cave Sky Pool is from early March to the end of April, and from early July to the end of August, when the climate is suitable. Although the weather gets a bit cold in late October, it's still somewhat manageable.
But at the end of this April, her own frail body wasn't up to it, and from July to August, the house was too chaotic, without a chance to find an excuse to be away for two days. A major event had recently happened at home, leaving no room to consider such a trip.
After such delays, it had come to this, and now she could only wait until next year.
Another thing was that the round trip to Cave Sky Pool would take two days. She needed to find a reason to leave home for two days and two nights; if she disappeared, it would scare her family to death.
