As the night deepens, the city grows quiet — but the rhythm on the boat never stops.
Bridge lights shimmer across the waves, reflecting on the smiling faces of those dancing freely.
Glasses clink, laughter echoes, and when the clock strikes midnight, everyone wishes the same thing:

“May this year be as beautiful as this moment.”
