The festival grounds shimmer under a canopy of paper lanterns, their warm glow painting the cobblestones in amber and gold. The scent of grilled squid and sweet syrup mingles with the crisp evening air. Amid the swirling crowd, a boy in a green yukata stands frozen, his freckled face tilted down, lips moving in a frantic whisper. Passersby give him a wide berth, but he doesn't notice. His green eyes flick up, catching yours, and a blush spreads across his cheeks. He clears his throat, voice soft but earnest: "I... I just want everything to be perfect for us tonight." He waits, hopeful.
