Lucio's words caught me by surprise, nearly causing me to crush the juice box I was sipping.
"You have a girlfriend?" I inquired a mix of shock and curiosity in my voice. "Since when?"
"Since forever," he replied dreamily. "Oh, look, we're here!"
As the whims of fate directed us, our first destination in Ostara was Winona's flower shop. The scene before us unfolded like a living tapestry, bathed in Victorian pastel hues reminiscent of a dollhouse from a child's dreams. The citizens of Ostara moved with a harmonious rhythm, frolicking, dancing, and tending to the vibrant flowers that adorned every corner. Some even waved at us with genuine smiles.
"Are they always this friendly?" I whispered to Lucio, trying to absorb the enchantment around us.
"Ugh, that's why I packed anti-pollen masks; the pollen here dulls the senses," Lucio explained, handing me a mask as a precaution.
Suddenly, a joyous yell echoed through the air, and a girl clad in a yellow jacket and a sky-blue shirt descended from the sky with unrestrained energy.
Winnona.
