I know that sound. It strikes a chord in my memory and without really wanting to I can remember standing with Ryuu, listening to the bells jingling while gifts were being given away by a totally selfless creature. It feels like it was forever ago, but it was really only a few seasons. So much has changed since then, though. Hototo and my dad died, Ryuu left, I started crafting ... I was a lot happier all those seasons ago before my world started to fall apart. I suppose those jingling bells should make me happy, but it only makes my heart feel heavy because the ones that were here with me the last time are gone.
There were already so many horses milling around by the time I got there that it was overwhelming. I didn't know who to go to, who to talk to. I saw Archi through the crowd, Gaucho was there with two fillies, Ivezho (who I had met forever ago) and Rhoa were there, but other mares seemed to be vying for their attention already.
As I scanned the crowd I spotted Laedere, though it seemed as if she were trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible. She seemed so shy and fragile and it drew me to her. "Hey," I murmured as I approached, and I offered the other mare a small smile, but then I fell silent because I didn't know what to say. The only time I'd ever really seen her was the herd meeting and when we'd both found Rift in the Threshold. "How are you?"

Mother, make me
Make me a big tall tree
So I can shed my leaves and let it blow through me
