I will be attending the Bonfire but minus the mask because the last time I wore one it got me into a highly questionable situation.

But first, while the majority are gathering in Misery Square, I will be in Xanadu. Want to look (without worry of being interupted) around the area where the cherry tree is located.

Had to forgo my search of the cherry tree area. A duel of sorts was happening and didn't look like it would end anytime soon.

I did wait for awhile, with the slim hope they would maybe take the fight somewhere else. But I finally decided to quit the area. Not so much because of the fight but rather my coming to terms with what may/may not have happened to me during that 24 hour night of the full moon.

My decision to move on proved to be right in more ways than one - there was an explosion in Xanadu, I was still close enough at the time to witness it. Many of the people gathered in Misery Square aren't yet aware of what happened because of the distraction and noise of the fireworks.

But the rain of cherry blossoms over the City will probably tip them off.
