After a long absence, Cocoa heads back to her mountain relatives, prompted by a letter from her sister Mocha urging her return. While Cocoa enjoys a reunion with family she hasn't seen in ages, her friends will spend an entire week in town without her presence. Yet Chino—Cocoa"s self‑styled little sister—insists on joining the group to see the upcoming fireworks show, scheduled for less than a week from now. Feeling the pull of companionship, Cocoa opts to arrive early, hoping she can make it in time for the festival"s grand finale while the town buzzes with anticipation and neighbors gather to share stories of past celebrations together.
