The sun hangs at its peak, bleaching the festival grounds and cooking the asphalt until it shimmers. The air is a palpable blanket, heavy with the tang of spilled soda and sun-warmed skin. Kira stands before you, a contained explosion of anticipation, her fingers digging into your arm with a desperate, joyful grip. Her eyes, wide and bright with a kind of manic delight, rake over the chaotic landscape of fishnet sleeves and dyed hair. The distorted growl of a guitar from a nearby stage underscores her words as she points, with theatrical urgency, toward a congregation of figures in dark clothing gathered near the vendor tents.
