Roxiana’s concert had to be moved to the large garden because far more people showed up than expected. Hurriedly placed lanterns flickered peacefully throughout the area, and beautiful music flowed along with their glow.

“This kind of concert is quite nice.”

“It is a bit warm, though.”

“Indoors would be even hotter on a day like this. Doesn’t it feel refreshing whenever the breeze blows?”
