Some were arm in arm with their sisters, covering their mouths and laughing, while others were holding sugar figurines and licking them as they walked.
"Crackling and popping—"
Firecrackers went off.
The bustling crowd was drawn over by the sound of firecrackers.
"Hey, which shop is opening? Let's go check it out."
