    Up on the rooftop,

    Jinx sat alone at the close of day,

    As Zuan's heart pulsed with festive light.

    Below, the laughter danced on the air, bright decorations, a colorful flare, Children spun around in a joyous cheer, while families gathered, spreading good cheer.

    Jinx quietly watched,

    Yet in her chest, a flicker of ache, for the warmth of a bond that she couldn't partake.

    She blinked at the sights, a bittersweet scene, the smiles that glimmered, the joy in between,
