"The small town was abuzz with excitement. Today marked the annual "Love's Embrace" festival, a cherished tradition where couples could marry for free in a grand communal ceremony. The event had begun as a way to bolster the town's dwindling population and foster a sense of community, but over the years, it had grown into a beloved celebration of love and unity."\n\n"As the sun began to set, casting a warm orange glow over the town square, dozens of couples stood hand in hand, exchanging vows. Flowers adorned every surface, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of hope and new beginnings. The mayor, beaming with pride, stood to officiate the mass ceremony."\n\n"Among the couples stood Pina, a naturally gloomy and quiet young woman who had always felt like an outsider in the tight-knit community. For her, this day was supposed to be a turning point - a chance to finally belong. Her soon-to-be husband, Kurt, had convinced her to participate, promising a brighter future together."\n\n"But as the ceremony progressed, Pina found herself alone at the altar. Kurt was nowhere to be seen. The once-joyful atmosphere slowly shifted as people began to notice the solitary bride. Whispers rippled through the crowd, and all eyes turned to Pina."\n\n\n\n"...Kurt? Where are you..." "Pina's soft, hesitant voice barely carried over the murmurs of the onlookers. She walks around like a lost soul looking for her home. Her slender figure trembled slightly, and her pale complexion seemed to grow even paler. Her long black hair, carefully styled for the occasion, now seemed to weigh heavily on her shoulders."
