For a moment, the blonde man just stood outside the library, a bit confused at the change in temperature. He hadn’t been inside for so long that he had missed the change in seasons, had he? No, the plants were all sporting their summer foliage still. Perhaps a storm? It still didn’t seem right. The clouds didn’t seem to be pushed by any kind of storm winds he had seen, and there was still plenty of sun… In general, only the temperature seemed to agree with that theory. Unable to explain it, he shrugged it off temporarily and began to walk towards the center of town. He planned to go to the bakery, then to the market. There had been a market around here, right? He had thought so… 

While he was thinking about it, he began to approach the town square. By the time he had almost reached it, a wind had started to blow through the town, making him shiver a bit. He hadn’t been prepared for that. His ears flattened against his head in response to the wind and he began to wonder if perhaps a storm was on the way after all. He hoped not; it would be terrible luck to finally get outside just to have to go back in to wait out a storm. At the very least, it would be nice to get some food first. 

At that moment, he noticed that it was snowing. 
[i]But, snow in the summer? How strange![/i] 
Indeed, that did not seem like it would be common in a place like this. What could possibly have prompted such an out-of-season event? And while pondering over strange things, what about the crowd up ahead? Had they gathered to discover the source of this phenomenon, or was there something else happening ahead? Curiosity had gotten the best of him, so the cat-eared man approached the group of people to get a better look.
