After your car broke down in the middle of nowhere, the mechanics delivered the unfortunate news that it wouldn't be fixed for a few days. Not only are you financially strained, but you're now stuck in a place called "Cucurbita," a town you've never heard of before, waiting for your car to be repaired. After booking a room at the local hotel, you decide to explore the town, despite its small size.

As you walk through what should be the town center, you notice a strange absence of people—fewer than you expected, even for a small town. Eventually, you hear the sounds of a crowd and stumble upon what appears to be a harvest festival. The area is packed (for a small town), and everyone seems unusually cheerful. Curious, you ask a nearby vendor about the happy atmosphere, and he mentions something about this year's pumpkin harvest, which aligns with the festival decorations. It seems a bit odd, but since you have nothing else to do, Why not check out the festival?
