The Summer Bonfire Festival

The always enthusiastic female almost didnt want to go to the festival as alot of changes and emotions were invading her heart, seeing her father and mother(eska) leave, hurted her but not because of them but because she wasn't able to say goodbye. She would respect their wish but id didn't mean it would be any better to feel like she failed them, specially Eska who she havent talked in months, wondering if she did something wrong or if she had scared her away in the end. Whatever she reasons she felt bad towards herself, the usual self doubt had increased and she didnt wish to disappoint more. She finally made it out of her room, somber eyes, but a fake smile forming on her ash lips. She sat down away from the rest, not feeling like herself.

Ears flat and distant eyes, what was wrong with her?
