The festivities have begun. It’s officially the Solstice, a week-long festival celebrating the longest days of the year. Apart from the food and drinking that’s present at all festivals, the Solstice also has the special purpose of encouraging young men and women to meet one another. The Solstice is a time of love and exploration, where the younger members of the city get to find a potential partner.

It’s the first night of the Solstice, and you’re not doing so hot. You’ve already struck out once, but that hasn’t deterred you. Picking yourself back up, you step out into the humid summer air and get back on that horse.
