The flowery path in front of me seems surreal. Each step that I took felt like the butterfly inside my stomach flew excitedly. The closer I got, the more vibrant its colours were, and there were many happy faces all around. It felt somewhat like a festival. I thought to myself what I great place to live. I felt giddy inside.

There were many delicious and interesting foods all around me. Hence, I tried some to satisfy my satisfaction. This was a pleasure that I was glad I could experience. Before in my original life, I have never eaten food properly, but merely just to fill my stomach. Since I believed I had no time to indulge and usually when I am eating, my mind started to wander around. Therefore, there have been few occasions where I didn't realize that I ate food with no proper seasoning. So now, I wanted to enjoy and experience these mouth-watering flavours.

Though the further I went down, the more unlike it seemed. The occupants here seem less fortunate by the looks from the clothes and their appearance, even the atmosphere felt different. I am not sure whether I should keep on venture deeper down the path. Through observation, I saw that most of the sellers here have sweet potatoes on their food stand, which is called the peasant's food. I have read before that sweet potatoes are easy to grow and they could survive the hot weather. Besides, it has plenty of health benefits, which made a great choice to consume. I didn't know why they called it like that. There were many ways to cook it, they just probably didn't know it yet. Nevertheless, they were also some with other vegetables and flowers, but totally incomparable to sweet potato. I also bought several foods here since I thought I could share them with Laura.

Then, as I strolled further, I passed an adorable girl who tried to sell her sunflowers, and from the way she appeared, I knew that she was malnourished. She, who was barely stood straight, tried to persuade everyone there with a bright smile on her face. However, they just brushed her off with a single glare. Even with this consequence, she never stopped smiling and kept on persuading. I wonder at that time how a person could be that strong. For me, who complained that I had a miserable life, have nothing compared to her, at least I had food on my plate. I felt ashamed of myself. I believed everyone has their own struggled, but at that time, if I was in her place, I knew I couldn't stand there as strong as her. Each person will eventually confront their own demon, and a person by the side-line couldn't stand as strong as the owner of the demon itself, but merely supported it only because they were the main lead in their own story. I took a deep breath and swallowed my feelings deep inside before I called for the child. I showed her a smile and asked about the flowers.

"What a beautiful flower you got here? It is one of my favourite flowers, is it alright if I buy all of this?"

The girl who has been standing there since morning trying to sell the flowers, but with no luck approached her, was astonished by the words that she heard that seems like a dream. With the feeling of surprise and blissed, she hurriedly replied with joyous beyond-border.

"Of course, my lady."

"Do you mind telling me your name?" I asked.

"It's Felicity, my lady."

"Okay, Felicity. Here is your pay, and make sure to keep your money hidden, okay. Here, I bought some cakes, but I don't think I can finish all of this. So would you like to have some of this?"

I reminded her with the feeling of worried that something might happen since she was just a child. I don't have power or anything, so I believed that was the only thing I could do. Moreover, with all the food that I bought, I felt like I should share some with her. At first, I thought of asking her to eat with me, but I just remembered, even in my world children shouldn't blindly follow a stranger. So I didn't want to bring out a habit in her.

"Are you sure, my lady? The cake looks nice, but is it okay for me to have it?"

"It is fine, Felicity. I don't mind at all. I am more than happy that I can share things that I like with you. Just like you share your sunflowers with me."

"But, my lady. You bought the flowers from me. It is different."

"It is fine. Here take it. I am more than delighted that I can share it with you."

Even with the rejection that she gave, the sweet fluffy cakes made her lose the battle. I knew I won the moment I looked at her when I showed her the cake. However, I have to remind her one more thing before I continued my journey.

"Before I go, Felicity, remember, it is not acceptable to accept food like this because you didn't know what their intention is. So before you take anything, observe first, okay? I know I am also a stranger and seem suspicious to you, right? And I don't know how to convince you otherwise. So it is your decision to decide if I am a bad person or not. Okay, I should go now. Take care, Felicity."

I patted her head as gently as possible and smiled as brightly as the morning sun to ensure her that I am fine with whatever she chose.

"Thank you. I believe in you, my lady. I am happy to meet you today."

She bowed her head and thanked me with a big smile on her face. With that being said, I continued my journey, feeling pleased. I observed the town carefully. The further I went, the more it seemed like a different place.
