A Smile Unraveling in a Sparkling City

"Kirameku Machi de Hodokeru Egao (A Smile Unraveling in a Sparkling City)" is the 18th song in the "Advent Story" series, told from the girl's point of view. In a lively winter square filled with lights, food stalls, and sweet scents, her fear briefly fades, and happiness wins for once.
Warmth transfers through a paper cup of cocoa, gloved fingertips brush, and the distance suddenly feels closer in front of a giant tree. Before she can find the right words, their footsteps move nearer, and she senses her "thank you" slowly reshaping into "I love you." Even on the train ride home, with their reflections blurred in the window, his outline stays clear. A gentle winter romantic pop song where a smile finally loosens the knots in her heart.
