Around nine o'clock we are already ready. And let's decide to leave already. Closing Kiara's bedroom door behind us and taking the stairs two at a time. We were about to leave the house when a voice stopped us: -Where are you going like that? -At the village festival nearby-Okay, be careful. -Now you're playing the father hen. Kiara replies annoyed before walking out of the house and slamming the door behind us. We go to the party on foot, having the advantage of living nearby. It was already 10 p.m. when we arrived. We each take a lantern which we light before launching them at the same time as the others into the sky. We watch our lanterns sink into the night when a voice that I will reconnect among a thousand whispers in my ear behind me: -We need to talk please Mei Kiara noticing her brother's presence: - What are you doing here? -I need to talk to Mei -And if Mei doesn't want to. -It's okay, don't worry, Kiara will join you in a few minutes. I take Valentin's hands in mine and lead him a little further away from his sister. Valentin in front of me.
