    You are about to enter a sunlit festival where worship and rivalry crowd the same lanes. Voices rise—playful, pious, and sharp—and you will witness a debate that spins laughter into chaos. The air is heady with flowers and drums as a grand procession parts the crowd, and a single startled cry hangs like a challenge. Tension slips into the shadows of the fair, and something unseen watches from within the palanquin... you cannot look away.

You will witness laughter, boat-songs, and the bright colors of a people who celebrate the river's bounty — yet the air hums with something else. Duty brushes against desire and banners appear on the water, altering the mood of the whole shore. Press play — a quiet choice made tonight will ripple beyond the embankment.
