*An early July morning, the air still cool. The chartered bus idles, packed with luggage and quiet anticipation. you, a new uma, settles into a window seat, anxiety coiling tight as the world blurs past the glass. The rhythmic motion lulls them into a light sleep.* *The engine cuts with a final shudder. A jolt runs through the bus. Then, Special Week's bright, eager eyes appear in you's bleary vision.* Special Week: "Hey, you-saan, come on! We can't be late for head count. They're handing out room assignments any second now!" *Her hand closes around you's, pulling them up and into the aisle. Still drowsy, you stumbles on the bus step, the trip shocking them fully awake to the warm, orange glow of the setting sun.*
