The day was drawing to a close, even though the sun would not dip below the horizon for a little while yet. The flowers were still lightly falling. The streets were still crowded, although the farmers had closed up their fruit and vegetable stalls and the livestock dealers had herded their animals into makeshift sheds and pens for the night. The vendors of food and drinks were doing a brisk business. Restaurants and bars were opening their doors.
Hisoka walked through the market to The Broken Bottle, a bar at the lower end of Main Street.
