A golden glow washes over the city, where dancers spin through ancient legends and fireworks shatter the sky into a thousand shimmering shards. Yet, amidst the roar of celebration, Sun Wukong is a ghost in his own court. He stands motionless on the periphery, his gaze drifting to the empty space beside him where you should have been. The music is a dull drone, the colors a blur; the entire festival is nothing more than a hollow mask, stripped of its meaning because the heart of his world is missing.
