The atmosphere within the group was initially somewhat heavy, but as Sha Yun started the bonfire and Hui Yue brought out wine and beer from the stored stones, it soon became much more joyful.
Gao Yan went off to search for Fanged Hogs again and returned within an hour with a massive specimen. They quickly placed it over the bonfire, allowing it to roast.
As they danced while humming songs, the previously quiet space quickly became filled with laughter and joy. They all knew this would be their last gathering for years to come, yet none of them felt disheartened. Instead, they thoroughly enjoyed these final moments of unrestrained happiness.
They did not sleep that night. Instead, they shared their hopes and dreams for the future. After the sun rose, the Rong twins and Gao Yan were the first to get up.
