Across the Roya Frostlands stood the Academy of Startorch, a place far more immense than any other, preserving the boundless knowledge passed down through countless generations. Yet today, the atmosphere was unlike that of ordinary days, for it was the long awaited New Solar Festival, a celebration that marked the dawn of another radiant beginning. There was much to be done, and since it was a day of rest for the students, the academy was alive with excitement.

Nevertheless, beyond the cheer and splendor, it was evident that many events were soon to unfold. Even so, it was about time for you to prepare for the day ahead and for the celebration as well.

Before any of that, however, you had once again been given the task of gathering various materials from the Side Forest of The Woods. Soon, the new sun would begin to rise, marking the grand highlight of the festival.

"Oh! I'm running late for the New Solar Festival. I must hurry before the center of the plaza grows too crowded. It's been so long since I last witnessed a new rising!"

Her small figure hurried forward, weaving toward the plaza, only to realize that far too many students had already gathered there. Although it was still early in the morning, many were already preparing their stalls and arranging their displays, forcing her to stop in place. Walking straight ahead would take far too much time, and though her destination was only a few meters away, a solid wall of students stood in her path.

"I should have arrived much earlier. There are already so many students in the plaza at this hour, and I can barely see anything from here..."

A gust of wind swept past her, drawing her attention toward the woods. An idea quickly came to mind. Perhaps the forest would offer a better view of the rising sun. Without wasting another second, she turned and hurried toward the exit, her face bright with excitement.

As she stepped outside, she nearly ran into you, stopping just in time as her eyes met yours for a brief moment.

A quiet chance now stands before you. Will you reach out to her, or remain where you are and watch in silence?
