[Arietta came out of hiding in her part of the woods just to see how things were going in Blessenwood. What she saw was a bit of a surprise.
Various vendors were selling toys such as water guns while others sold ice cream. Kids and adults alike were dressed in what's usually worn when going to a pool or a beach. It took but a moment of soaking up the scenery for Arietta to realize.]
...It's summer time.
[What else she realized was that ever since she was pulled to Atlus and returned to her roots in the wild, she pretty much lost track of time. It almost seemed like yesterday that it was winter. This is her first summer away from Daath. Away from her friends. What is she going to do? What the heck is she going to do?]
