The festival was bigger this year.
More music.
More lights.
More people.
The city pulsed with life.
Eljara watched strangers dancing in the streets.
“They look happy.”
Sean nodded.
“They are.”
The answer surprised her.
The music grew louder.
The crowd moved closer together.
The celebration fed itself.
More laughter.
More drinks.
More excitement.
Nobody wanted the night to end.
Sean watched the sea of smiling faces.
“Do you know when things become dangerous?”
Eljara glanced at him.
“When?”
He pointed toward the crowd.
“When nobody remembers what enough looks like.”
The music thundered.
The city demanded more.
More noise.
More joy.
More life.
For a moment Eljara felt it too.
The pull.
The hunger.
The desire to keep going.
Just a little longer.
Just a little more.
Then Sean spoke quietly.
“People think the bill comes later.”
The festival lights blurred together.
The crowd roared.
The city burned with summer energy.
“It doesn’t.”
A pause.
“The bill is already inside the feast.”
And suddenly the celebration felt different.
Not darker.
Just fragile.
Like a fire that doesn’t know when to stop burning.
