"Happy New Year! Cheers! ”

"Cheers!"

"Cheers."

"Cheers."

When everyone gathers for dinner, the atmosphere is always the most lively.

Fruit juices, rice cake soup, and sushi fruits are all on the table, the air conditioner in the hotel is whirring and the TV is playing the NHK Red and White Song Battle, which is broadcast on the evening of December 31 every year.

The host set off the atmosphere, and the performers and guests appeared warmly in surprise.

There is nothing bad or troublesome about the chat content at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there are just things that can make people happy and smile.

"Ah Le, eat more tempura that I fried with my own hands."

"Mom, what about me, what about me, what about me! It's excessive. ”

"Didn't you have your sister Liuli to pick up vegetables for you?"

"If Sister Liuli clips it to me, you can't be partial, Mom!"

"How do I call it eccentricity," Tianhai Mei and the same Tianhai Maodian couple sat on the side seat of the warm table and laughed, "Your brother has been so busy taking care of the family this year, can't you treat him more at the end of the year?" By the way, the glass and the snow in July are also, eat a little. ”

"Ah~~ Mom is really eccentric now! Me, I work a lot! Very busy! ”

"Did you do the housework?"

Tianhai Qi Mingyue suddenly interjected, "Not at all, even Zhixue has done more than her." ”

"Excessive! If I came home at night from work, it was too late! ”

"But my brother basically calculates the time when my sister sauce goes home and cooks when you go home, and my sister sauce still has time to wash the dishes, not to mention that I still have time to rest on weekends."

"That is, I was so tired after eating, and I had to make up my homework, and I didn't have any energy at all."

"No matter how you look at it, it's like an excuse for my sister-chan."

The two of them quarreled word by word, but there was a happy atmosphere, but Amami Miwa knew that he couldn't be partial in this regard, so he gave the last two tempura to his daughter.

"It's still my mom who treats me well!"

"You don't have to say that to me. But your brother told me another thing, Ah Ling, what are your results in the second half of the year? I remember you said you were going to go to the same university as your brother. ”

"This. Well, that." Sakakihara Suzu's heart was weak, and she turned her face sideways.

Sakakihara looked at his sister opposite, "Next semester, I'll let Suzu tutor desperately, and the curry beef is not allowed to be eaten." ”

"Don't, Mom~Mom~~ Look at my brother, you should take care of this matter."

Amami Miwa smiled, "It's useless for you to tell me Suzu, in fact, it's your brother who cares about your study and life." Now that you're all financially independent, I can't say much about that. Even if I suggest it, university, Ah Ling, you still have to take the test. ”

"I want to take this thing."

Sakakihara Suzu poked the steaming white radish in the bowl and muttered in a low voice, "Actually, I can do it without going to university now, I'm so rich." ”

"Then Ah Ling, do you want your brother, your two sisters, and Zhixue to go to another school by yourself after they all go to Dongda or Qingda?"

Sakakihara nodded and took his mother's words, "Well, anyway, when we go to college in the future, we will consider buying a new house to live in around the school, and we will do all the decoration ourselves." Since Ah Ling, if you don't want to study, you can buy one less room, and the decoration cost can also be less. ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli took a bite of the mushrooms in the sukiyaki, and also interjected with a smile: "At that time, that place will be our university dormitory, and if we are free on weekends or holidays, we will organize motorcycle teams to travel to the whole country." As for the bell, there is probably no share. ”

When Suzu Sakakihara heard this, she reacted violently.

"This, this absolutely not! This is discrimination! This is prejudice! ”

It doesn't matter if you take the university exam or not, the atmosphere of your future life is very important, no matter what, everyone has to stay together in the future!

Suzu Sakakihara cares about this.

While chatting, we ate Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Occasionally, I also watch the Japanese Spring Festival Gala on TV - the battle of red and white songs.

This year, the new generation of pop singers such as Yoasobi and LiSA took the stage, and Sayuri Ishikawa, a leading singer in the Japanese palace, participated for the 44th time.

When everyone asked Ah Ling why you weren't invited up this year, she raised her chin and confidently "hum~", saying that she was likely to be able to go up as a guest next year!

Even if it's not possible, she has to work hard!

Then I have to work with Yuki, let Yuki write the song, and she will sing.

Sometimes Sakakihara feels that it is also interesting to watch Suzu brag during dinner.

Qile ate the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and in the following time, the women in the family basically talked about a topic, and Sakakihara Le was arrested by Shikanori Tianhai and asked some things in the family.

Halfway through the meal, I also made a video call to the old man who had just gotten off the plane in Los Angeles.

At the first glance of the old man, Sakakihara Le congratulated Grandpa on a happy new year, followed by everyone sitting together taking turns to congratulate.

The old man saw that the atmosphere over there was so good, and his daughter Tianhai Zhixue's condition was also quite good, and he didn't have his usual tense and serious face, so he chatted with everyone a few words, and hurriedly hung up the international call because he was busy with affairs.

"This is leaving, huh? Is Grandpa so busy? It's the New Year, alas. ”

Tianhai Shigerun replied, "Every year. ”

The uncle would gather with his daughters for dinner during the New Year, and the old man would run around the world.

Taking care of the career and ignoring the family, this seems to be the tradition of the Tianhai family.

"Brother won't be like this in the future, right? I don't go home every night, even on holidays. ”

Shigerunori Amami went to look at Sakakihara Raku, "It should be like this after the age of thirty." ”

"Why are you so busy?"

"After all, the development of the Tianhai family has never stagnated, and there are too many careers that need to be taken care of."

But about this matter, it was a long time later, and a few people didn't talk much.

However, then Tianhai Shigeruni asked about Sakakihara Le's plans to live and marry with the two sisters in the future, and Sakakihara Suzu was coaxing on the side, which was difficult for him.

"Uncle, it's too early to think about these things, isn't it?"

Tianhai Maodian's voice was flat, and he took the chopsticks rice cake and put it in his mouth, "The engagement is still required, according to the old man's meaning, you need to confirm your identity to the family and give an explanation to those people in the family." If you get engaged, who are you going to come with? ”

“.”

At the moment when his uncle asked this question, Sakakihara Le felt the gaze of the Nine Glasses of the Sea and the Seven Bright Moons of the Sea looking at him at the same time.

This question. How about I answer later? ”

*

From night to night, the direction of the wind changes to a headwind.

A cold wind mixed with snow blows quietly on the shores of Lake Kusharo.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it is the so-called second year of worship.

The temperature at night was noticeably colder, and several people wore thick yukata before leaving the hotel.

"Lejun will go out later, don't catch a cold."

Every time I go out, Tianhai Jiu Liuli likes to help Sakakihara Le tidy up the scarf and tidy up the corner neckline. When she put away her hands and smiled in front of her, Sakakihara couldn't help but show her an amiable smile.

"Ruri's yukata is beautiful."

"Thank you, young master, for your compliment." Tianhai Jiu Liuli nodded quite elegantly.

"I always feel like it's the same as when I first met Ruri."

"The same what?"

"Just as pretty."

"That Lejun is more boastful than before!"

"Well, we weren't that close before, and when I praised you, it seemed that I was plotting against you."

Tianhai Jiu Liuli, whose chin and neck were hidden in a thick scarf, puffed up his cute face, "What, didn't Le Jun just plot against me before?"

"I just like you who are good and beautiful," Sakakihara smiled lightly, reaching out to grab her hand, "What did Ruri think of me at first?" ”

"I remember that I answered before, and I was very impressed, and I also thought that I was a very enthusiastic brother."

"Feeling okay?"

"It's good, it's handsome, it's just a little stupid."

"And now?"

"I love you the most!"

"Liuli~ How about saying it again?"

"I love you the most! Although sometimes it's still a little stupid, and I like to be coquettish. ”

"Hey, hey! Later, you don't need to add more glass. ”

Tianhai Jiu Liuli hid his face and laughed.

Sakakihara Le can see a glimmer of happiness and happiness in the eyes of Tianhai Jiu Ruri, which shows that she is really happy at the moment.

"What happened in the afternoon, didn't Ruri regret it?"

"There is no point~ In the future, I will also believe in Lejun with all my heart, even if Lejun has not taken me to the UK yet."

When Sakakihara heard this, he instantly felt that holding her hand warmed up a lot.

There is also a trace of guilt for her in my heart.

"When is the piano competition that Liuli will participate in in the future?"

"Well, probably in May or June?"

"Then I'll step up my practice and go with Ruri. By the way, I took Ruri to see the Maple Leaf Avenue that she had always wanted to see. ”

"That's not right!"

"Isn't that right?"

"Well," Tianhai Jiu Liuli nodded heavily and laughed again, "It's the Maple Leaf Avenue that I want to see with Le Jun." ”

"This sentence is so warm." Sakakihara reached for the girl, and she responded enthusiastically.

"In the future, Liuli will follow me like this for the rest of her life."

"Of course!"

"What about marriage? Or maybe they will have children in the future. ”

"Well, Lejun can have as many as he wants!"

Listening to her answer to herself, Sakakihara smiled and led her down the hallway at the entrance of the hotel and watched her put on her geta.

Sakakihara couldn't bear to let them have a baby or something, because pregnancy itself was a matter of suffering and ruining youth for them.

But what Liuli said already means that she is ready to face everything together, right?

Live together, settle down together, and grow old together.

If you think about it, this kind of life is really happy enough

*

The shrine is not far from the hot spring inn, but on another hill.

It happens to be the place where villagers from the surrounding towns and villages around Kussharo Lake go to worship every year.

As expected, by the time a few people walked here, the crowd had already gathered in the small shopping street in front of the shrine.

If you look ahead, you can see the entrance to the shrine by the huge torii gate, and then look up along the cedars, where rows of orange lanterns illuminate the path to the shrine.

"On such a cold day, there are so many people who come to worship in the evening?"

"Stupid sister sauce, don't you know that there are going to be fireworks in the scenic spot tonight?"

"There are fireworks to watch at night?!"

"Otherwise, how could it be so lively here?"

Since it's New Year's Day, there are many women who come here wearing yukata.

But no one is as eye-catching as Ruri and July, and as they make their way through the crowd, their dignified appearance, delicate and hazy natural beauty in the light snow attract many eyes.

They are extremely beautiful in themselves, and the temperament of a beautiful girl with yukata and swaying silver jewelry is reflected to the extreme.

When Miwa Amami walked behind, she saw Sakakihara Le, who was walking between the two sisters, and smiled softly.

I walked up the hill and washed my hands at the hand pool.

Several people came to the main shrine to pay their respects, and the shrine was already crowded with people.

Everyone lined up in front of the money box to pull the rope to pay homage, and after making New Year's wishes, there was still light snow in the sky.

The shrine's priest was worried that the crowd would be too cold, so he prepared red bean soup in advance, which you can take to the side room at will.

Sakakiwara was worried that it would be too cold for everyone to stand silently at the shrine and wait for the New Year's fireworks, so he took the initiative to line up and took a few copies back.

"Thank you."

"My brother is quite attentive!"

"Lejun should call me to go and get it together."

Hair and hair, Sakakihara found that there was one person missing.

"What about July?"

Suzu Sakakihara, who was wearing a pink yukata, poked her head out from under the eaves and said, "Sister July is over there in the hand pool." ”

"What is she doing over there?"

"I don't know."

"I'll go look for her."

Sakakibara took the red bean soup from last July, walked through the crowd, and came to the cabin of the clean hand pond. He looked left and right, but he didn't see the figure of the seven bright moons in the sky and sea.

He took a few more steps, skipping a few people.

Finally, next to a wall of ema where people's wishes were hung, I saw the silver hairpin behind the hair of the seven bright moons in the sky.

The girl's snow-white neck is exposed, and when viewed from the side, the slender figure with the contoured ears sets off the cedars. The silver hairpin hair ornament sways with the cold wind, and under the hazy light of the shrine's lanterns, it is difficult to look at directly.

July stood in the light snow, so elegant and quiet.

She stands on the wall of Eima, tied with a small trapezoidal wooden board called "Ema".

After seeing the beautiful back of the girl, Sakakihara walked over, quietly came behind her, and after sniffing the aroma of green apples mixed with cold air on her neck, he suddenly shouted:

"July!"

"Huh?!"

Tianhai Qi Mingyue was taken aback.

She turned around, and when she saw Sakakihara Le, her face turned cold, "You guy, is it fun to be scary?" ”

"It looks like a lot of fun right now." Sakakihara brought the red bean soup in the small wooden cup to the girl's eye, and then smiled, "This is an apology." ”

"Is a free apology a gift?"

"It takes time to get in line!"

"You've passed." Tianhai Qi Mingyue took the red bean soup in his hand, she didn't drink it first, but put it aside, and continued to tie Ema who didn't tie it just now.

"What are you doing here at Ema Wall in July?" Sakakibara fun probe to see the movement of her hands.

"Pray for you." Tianhai Qimingyue tied it on the side, and replied in a flat voice over and over again.

"For me?"

"What, can't you?"

"Of course, what do you pray?" Sakakihara leke probed again.

After the seven bright moons of the sea hung up the ema, she directly showed the words she wrote by herself to Sakakihara Le, "No disease and no disaster, smooth sailing." ”

"What an unpretentious New Year's resolution. But I am very grateful to have this wish in July, but then again, you don't believe in gods in July? ”

"And who does someone think I'm praying to the gods for?"

Facing the four eyes of the seven bright moons in the sky and sea, Sakakihara believes that the answer is self-evident.

July.

Today, I still found July's actions, and in private, how many times has July blessed himself like this?

July didn't seem to like to talk about such wishes, or to let people know what she had done.

She has always been like this, silently wishing behind her back, silently thinking about her own good.

"July."

"Huh?"

"July."

"Do something."

"July."

"If you have something, say it quickly, I'll listen."

"Seven ~ month."

"Are you sick?"

Seeing the beautiful girl in front of him responding to herself again and again, Sakakihara laughed.

He suddenly felt that this was probably the so-called happiness.

In the shrine, in the middle of the New Year, on a cold light snow day. She stood right in front of her, and she called her name by herself, and she was able to respond to herself again and again, and listen quietly to her call to her again and again.

Over and over. Over and over.

Probably this is the most sincere thing in the endless ordinary daily life.

Sakakihara looked at the sky blue eyes of the seven bright moons of the sky and smiled, looking at her delicate and beautiful face.

"I love you, July."

"Suddenly so numb."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue stared at his face for a while in the crowd of people coming and going, and took the initiative to stretch out her hand to him, holding it together, and the girl said helplessly:

"I know, I know, I love you too."

"Red bean soup, drink it in July, it's hot."

"Afraid I'll be cold?"

"Of course, I said I love you."

"Hopefully you'll be able to say that to me every day for decades."

"July, believe it or not, I can look at you until the last moment of my life, the moment I finally close my eyes. Say the three words I love you with a smile? ”

"Don't say that, I don't like it."

"Reluctant to let me die first? I'm reluctant to let you go first in July. Where would anyone be willing to let someone who loves him so much leave him? ”

"Okay, okay, you're not twenty yet, just say these things. Let's go, it's New Year's Eve soon. ”

"Okay, but I'm still going to say, I love you, July."

"Uh-huh, I love you too, let's go. I'm leading you this time. ”

Sakakihara and the girl held hands together, feeling the warm temperature of her little hands, "It should be said that we will hold each other in the future." ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue sighed again, in a tone like coaxing a child: "Okay, just hold each other, and everyone will never be separated again." ”

"Yes, we will never be separated again"

"You can go to my sisters now, right?"

"Of course."

There are lush pine trees on both sides of the approach, but they are all covered in snow at the moment.

When Sakakiwara Le found everyone with the Seven Bright Moons of the Heavenly Sea, it had already entered the countdown to New Year's Eve.

Suzu Sakakihara happily beckoned to the two and motioned for them to come this way.

When you sit under the eaves of the shrine with everyone, the heavy bells that symbolize the end of the year begin to ring.

5、4、3、2、1

Everyone at the shrine looked up at the snow-covered sky until the last solemn bell rang and the cheers of the worshippers resounded through the shrine, and everyone began to applaud enthusiastically and enjoy the brilliant fireworks that bloomed in the night.

Bang bang bang.

Snowflakes, fireworks. Everything beautiful that illuminates the night sky.

"Dude! Happy New Year!!! ”

"Know you're happy, but don't jump. But also wishing you a Happy New Year. Of course, Yuki, Ruri, and Ruki are too, Happy New Year! ”

"Happy New Year."

Tianhai Jiuliuli laughed, "Happy New Year, Lejun." ”

"Although I don't like to say this word very much, and I don't like the atmosphere too much. But, um. Happy New Year. ”

Under the eaves of the shrine where snowflakes were flying, the five of them sat together almost side by side.

Everyone looks up at the sky, at the snowflakes, and at the fireworks of the New Year.

Suzu Sakakihara excitedly shouted "Sister July!" because she saw her favorite fireworks! July sister, look! Tianhai Qimingyue complained under the fireworks that she sat in the corner of her yukata.

Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled and took Tianhai Zhixue, who rarely saw fireworks around her, to identify the colors of various fireworks, and told her what shape this one was and what shape that one was.

And Sakakihara Raku was surrounded by everyone in the middle, looking up at the incomparably gorgeous sky.

When he listened to the fireworks that symbolized the arrival of the new year blooming in the air, he looked back and saw the brilliant colors of the fireworks reflected on the beautiful faces of the glass, July, Suzu, and snow at the same time. only to think. There's no better happiness than that.

I have come from the obscurity of my previous life to the present.

To be noticed, to be considered, to be loved by everyone.

Sakakihara had thought about who spoiled whom in the relationship between everyone before, but now everyone is together and working together to celebrate the New Year. Seeing this picture, he realized that no one spoiled anyone as a waste.

The relationship between everyone has long been maintained to the point that it is difficult to break free.

Everyone's feelings for each other have long since become indistinguishable from each other.

To say that spoiled who Sakakihara Rakku thinks, it should be unintentional. Everyone spoiled each other.

Sakakihara thought of this, and saw everyone's extremely happy smiles under the fireworks, and suddenly on a whim, he hugged his mouth with both hands, and shouted loudly under the eaves against the snowy night when the fireworks were blooming:

"Ruri! July! Bell! Snow! Happy New Year!!! ”

Seeing him shouting so loudly, Tianhai Jiuliuli also hugged his mouth and shouted loudly to the sky:

"Lejun! Happy New Year!!! ”

Then there are the seven bright moons in the sky and the sea.

"Brother!! Happy New Year!!! ”

Then there was the snow of the sky and the sea that saw the two of them shouting.

"Happy New Year."

"Woo, woo, yuki, you're shouting too quietly, look at my - brother! New Year's Mess !! ”

"Stinky Ah Ling, you're wrong to shout happiness!"

"What? You have to take care of it! And what do you call me? ”

"Stinky bell."

"Stinky Lele! Happy New Year to Stinky Lele!! ”

"Sister-chan is stupid."

"That July sister is also stupid, stupid, slightly~"

"No matter how stupid you are, you're obviously smarter than your sister sauce who can't shout the wrong words."

"It's just a wrong sound! Stupid July sister. ”

"Stupid sister sauce."

"Everyone. It's better not to quarrel. ”

"Stupid Sister July!"

"Stupid sister sauce."

"Stupid. No, stupid brother! ”

"Hey, what's wrong with me again?"

"Because it was originally my brother, you called me stinky Ah Ling first! Well, right! That's it. ”

"If you want Ah Ling to say that, I don't know who first called me stinky brother in this life? It's Ah Ling, you. ”

"Wow! Dude you. You've changed your concept! I said now, you say this life, right? ”

"Hahaha."

"Hit you, hit you, hit you."

"Why don't we discuss what to eat tomorrow?"

Suzu Sakakibara immediately came to her senses, "Then tempura!. The tempura I ate tonight was delicious, along with beef curry, fried potatoes, and fried ice cream!" It's been a long time! ”

Fried ice cream."

"Look, brother, Yuki wants to eat it too!"

"I see. But I'm not going to do any of them. ”

"What are you talking about, brother!"

"It's okay to do it for Yuki."

"Dude! You are eccentric!! Say yes and don't be partial!! ”

"Hahaha."

"Don't laugh! You must do it for me! Do it for me, do it for me."

"My sister-chan is really good at being coquettish."

"Slightly! Sister July, you're not either? ”

"Everyone. It's better not to make noise. ”

*

The next day.

New Year, sunny morning, on the shores of Lake Kussharo.

"You drive back, pay attention to safety, don't get blocked by snow again."

"Got it, got it! Mom, let's go with my uncle. ”

"Mom and uncle have a good trip."

"Auntie and dad have a good trip."

"Hmm."

"Let's go, Ruri, July, and Little Snow."

"Mei and Sister go slowly."

After Tianhai Mei and a few people outside the window of the same car smiled and said hello, Tianhai Maodian closed the car door, and after more than ten seconds, he walked away.

Pack up your luggage at the hotel and tie it all to your motorbike in a proper manner.

Standing in front of the lake full of white swans, Sakakihara Raku, under the sun, assembled the motorcycle team and began to roll call:

"Suzu Sakakihara!"

"It's here!" Suzu Sakakihara anxiously fastened her helmet before raising her arms high on her BMW's big waterbird.

"Really, not disciplined. Nine glazes in the sky and sea. ”

"Here!" On the left, the Tianhai Jiu Liuli in the helmet smiled energetically.

"Look, Liuli has spirit."

"The seven bright moons of the sky and the sea, and the snow of the sky and the sea."

"Here."

To the right, the Seven Bright Moon of the Sky Sea riding a Harley motorcycle shouted at the same time as the Snow of the Sky Sea in the back seat of her.

Sakakihara couldn't help but sigh, "Why are you all weak." ”

"Maybe it was because I didn't sleep well last night?"

"It's okay to go to bed at about one o'clock, forget it. Not to mention that, Fried Ice Cream Riding Team! Officially assembled again, this time the goal is to go home-Higashi~~Kyo!! ”

"Oh! Applause, applause! ”

The swans on the lakeshore swam away in surprise by the applause of Sakakibara Suzu, their white wings flapping the glittering morning light that fell from the clouds, shining with the golden glow of the morning sun.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue couldn't help but hold on to his helmet and shook his head, "It's still so embarrassing." ”

"It doesn't matter."

"My brother is right! It doesn't matter! ”

"It's the momentum that counts!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Momentum! Momentum!! ”

"Well, the momentum is here," Sakakihara looked into the distance, and put his hands on the handlebars, "no matter, let's go in the direction of home!" Woohoo~~"

"Let's go! Woohoo~~"

Sakakihara raki smacked the throttle, and the front line rushed out. Suzu Sakakihara followed.

Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled, and the third followed.

Finally, there are the seven bright moons in the sky and the sea.

"Isn't Xiao Qi leaving?"

"It's not. I'm just lamenting the stupidity of my brother and sister-chan. Yuki hugs me tight. ”

"Good~~"

Hearing and feeling her hugging herself, Tianhai Qi Mingyue put away her foot support, turned away, twisted the throttle, and started quickly, accompanied by the roar of the engine, and followed.

The whistling wind made noise in his ears, the paint surface of the helmet reflected the warm glow of the sun, and he turned the accelerator, and the seven bright moons in the sky and sea looked at a few shadows in front of him through the helmet.

"How about Yuki think we should catch up?"

"Yes, but doesn't Sister July like to drive too fast?"

The delicate cheeks of the seven bright moons of the sky sea greeted the cool morning breeze, and said with a smile:

"That's true, but sometimes, you have to make some changes. Hang on. ”

"Okay."

The sun is rising, the breeze is blowing, and the smell of snowflakes is blowing on the face.

Tianhai Qimingyue raised the gear, increased the throttle, and the engine roared forward at high speed.

The cedars shimmered by, and the mist on the side of the mountain seemed to be close at hand.

The motorcycle was driven by her, and it was speeding through the wind.

*

At the end of the lakeside of Kussha, with the snow-capped mountains behind you, five motorcycles lined up.

Nine glazes in the heavenly sea, Sakakihara music, seven bright moons in the heavenly sea, snow in the heavenly sea. The four of them stood tightly together with each other, all wearing heavy winter cycling clothes and motorcycle helmets, and pointed their scissor hands at the camera.

"Ready, ready, ready!"

"Sister-chan, hurry up."

"Okay!"

After fixing the position of the mobile phone, Sakakihara Suzu quickly ran to the side of Tianhai Kururi, smiling and comparing scissor hands with everyone.

5、4、3、2、1

“cheese！”

At the moment when the countdown stopped, a swan, flapping its white wings on the shore of the blue lake, towards the blue sky farther away.

The end of the trip to Hokkaido was finally fixed on the smiles of the five people holding hands.
