As we walked by, the signs with "Graduation in the esplanade" stood out, their bold letters a beacon for the gathering crowd. Lilith followed me, her steps echoing my own until we reached the esplanade.
It was a sight to behold: rows upon rows of white chairs neatly arranged in concentric arcs facing a grand stage adorned with blue and gold draperies, the school's colors proudly on display.
The stage itself was a masterpiece of design, with a large digital screen displaying the names and faces of the graduates as they would soon cross the threshold into a new chapter of their lives.
Flanking the stage were towers of blooming flowers, their fragrance mingling with the air, creating a sensory tapestry that was both invigorating and calming.
Parents and students milled about, their voices a harmonious cacophony against the backdrop of the meticulously landscaped grounds.
