Panel 1: Introduction
On a tranquil summer evening in a small, serene village surrounded by lush forests, the sky is painted in soft orange and pink hues as the sun sets. The protagonist, a young and kind-hearted person, walks along a riverbank, holding a small, old-fashioned lantern. They’re heading to a clearing where the villagers gather annually to watch the fireworks.
Panel 2: Development
Upon reaching the clearing, the protagonist notices an ethereal figure—a youkai—sitting by the water’s edge with a gentle, melancholic expression. The youkai is intently watching the sky. The protagonist approaches and asks if they are also waiting for the fireworks.
Panel 3: Twist
The youkai smiles softly and shares a story of waiting every year for a particular firework—a brilliant, golden explosion that reminds them of a long-lost friend. However, this firework hasn’t appeared in many years. Moved by the story, the protagonist promises to watch the fireworks together with the youkai.
Panel 4: Conclusion
As the fireworks begin to light up the night sky, the protagonist and the youkai watch in awe. Suddenly, a magnificent golden firework bursts above them, filling the sky with light. The youkai’s eyes glisten with emotion as they whisper a heartfelt thank you before slowly fading away, leaving the protagonist alone, yet filled with warmth and peace.
