Why it never ends

Yugali was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't stop laughing.

Hesta looked confused, "...is it funny?"

"No, I just... keep forgetting that you used to be a medic," Yugali smiled and waved his hand, "Your entry point is too curious!"

Hesta also smiled. She leaned against the fence and looked away.

"In short, they are all the same flesh and blood."

……

Near two o'clock, a staff member came to summon the guests to the conference hall. A huge screen hung under the flags of Orange Town and the South [-]th District, and the projector projected a line on it, "Welcome every new resident of Orange Town."

Opposite the screen, four long tables were put together, with a variety of desserts and drinks on them for guests to take.

In addition, 32 chairs were placed neatly in the open space in the middle of the conference hall. Daylight poured into the room from the huge glass windows. People took water or wine and chatted casually in the open space next to the chairs.

Although Eleven and Qiqi were told that they could stay in the parent-child room and play games, they still stubbornly chose to listen to the following introduction session with Hesta and Yugali. They had no interest in finding anyone to chat with. As soon as I entered the conference hall, I looked at the dessert table and ate.

Yugali stood on the edge of the crowd, looking up at the paintings on the ceiling. This was the first time she had seen such an exquisite and complicated building ceiling.Unlike modern cities like Matsuyukihara with flashing neon lights, Orange Town still retains many old buildings with the style of the North [-]th District - both the lifestyle and architectural style here are deeply influenced by the North and South [-]th Districts.

Hesta took a glass of ice water and slowly sloshed it around the room.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar shadow filing in with the crowd from the entrance. The sunlight shone on her body, reflecting her hair into brilliant gold——

"Ksenia!"

The whole room was shocked by Hesta's sudden call. Everyone stopped talking and looked towards the source of the voice. When everyone saw Hesta's eyes that were so happy that they couldn't hide their joy, they all turned their heads at the same time. , followed Hesta's gaze to the other end of the room.

Ksenia stood there at a loss. The focus of everyone's attention made her at a loss for what to do. Hesta in the distance had already walked quickly through the crowd and ran towards her.

"Why are you here!" Hesta asked happily, "I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Kseniya smiled and sighed. She held her forehead in embarrassment to avoid everyone's gaze, "Hello..."

"Hello." Another voice came from behind Ksenia. Hesta glanced and realized that Methnan was also standing next to her.

He smiled, looking a little reserved.

"Do you know each other?" Hesta asked.

Ksenia looked at the two of them and said, "You know each other too?"

"Well, I went to a friend's house for dinner before... It just so happened that Ms. Hestad lived there."

"What a coincidence," Ksenia smiled, "I don't need to introduce you - this is Duke Myshkin, and this is Ms. Hesta."

Hesta frowned slightly, "Mei what?"

"Mesnan." Mesnan's face quickly turned red. "Don't listen to Ms. Ksenia's joke. I'm not a duke. I just..."

"Are you also here for the Orange Town introduction meeting?" Hesta asked.

"I'm here to be a volunteer." Ksenia replied, "There happens to be a choir nearby that is short of a pianist. The introduction will be over soon, and I will take him over to try."

Mesnan grabbed his hat and nodded.The surrounding crowd slowly resumed its previous hustle and bustle, and Yugali looked at Hesta from a distance - she had rarely seen Hesta so enthusiastic.Just as she was hesitating whether to come over and join the conversation, Ksenia waved to Hesta and led Methnan to the back of the drink counter.

At a quarter past two, the man in a blue suit and pink tie stood in front of the stage and invited everyone to take a seat.

"Are those two people just now your friends?" Yugali asked softly.

"Yeah. We met in school."

"...Is she still a student?" Yugali couldn't help but turn around, "But she can actually do things here."

“Perhaps usually volunteers for this kind of activities would be recruited from universities.”

"Really?" Yugali sighed sincerely, "It's great. I also want to come here often to do things...even if I don't pay."

"why?"

Yugali raised his head, "Look up... even the walls here are very beautiful."

The man in front of the screen began to introduce himself. The old man who had talked to them earlier was sitting in the corner of the first row, with both hands on his cane and looking at the slides on the screen with interest.

Since the man spoke the language of the South [-]th District, the content that Hestad could understand was very limited. Judging from the pictures on the slide, the starting point of the man's story seemed to be before the Great Power Outage, a long paragraph The long history caused Hesta to drowse.

Eleven soon fell asleep next to Qiqi.

Yugali was still listening attentively to the introduction by the people on the stage. Every historical story aroused her great interest, until the time slowly approached the present.

About 40 minutes later, Hestad felt someone pushing his hand.

"elder sister……"

Hesta opened her eyes and saw Qiqi looking at her. The child was holding two tissues that she had brought from the restaurant at noon, as if she wanted to hand them to him.

Hesta was a little confused, "Give it to me?"

Qiqi shook her head, "Give it to the sister next to you."

Hesta then looked at Yugali - she was still listening intently to the introduction of the people on the stage, but from unknown time, Yugali's eyes were filled with tears.

Hesta suddenly became sober. She took the napkin from Qiqi and handed it to Yugali.

Yugali seemed to wake up from a dream, and the tears that had been in her eyes fell in panic. She pushed Hesta's hand away and quickly wiped away the tears with her palms.

"...I'm fine." Yugali whispered.

Hesta looked around - most of the people here had dull expressions at the moment, some were drowsy, some were looking at the screen with dull eyes, and some were playing with their mobile phones in boredom. Except for Eucalyptus, No one seemed to be grieving.

Hesta raised her head and looked at the big screen in front of her. At this time, the screen on the stage had switched from ancient maps and cultural relics to today's modern life.On the screen, a group of children are holding balloons and running on a summer tree-lined road.

After the man finished talking about a slide, he turned sideways and pressed the page turning button in his hand.
