## What happens

The chapter depicts a quiet April evening in a small town, where people sit on porches and walk along the streets, enjoying the warmth. Cars pass under arc lights, revealing young couples, and the scene is filled with comfortable, unintelligible sounds and the lingering scent of tobacco.
