Story - summarized
Nikki gets a letter in the mail asking to be a volunteer for a lantern-making group at Deer Park in Cloudcrest. It marks the anniversary of when you two met, and you all agree to go.
Also inside the letter were some peach blossoms, so she gets the idea to make that the theme for this year's anniversary. At Deer Park, she leads everyone in gathering and crushing peach blossoms for dye for the lanterns. Yexiao and Helz happen to be passing by, and they decide to join the activity, with everyone writing their wishes on paper strips and attaching them to the lanterns.
It goes so well that the staff at Deer Park ask if Nikki and you would like to help them at their booth in Zither River. You both share good food, warm memories, and a night of fireworks as you release your lanterns along the river.
Connections
-Cloudcrest is the first Cloud town we visit in Shining Nikki, in Vol. 1, Ch. 4. She met Qin Yi for the first time and almost lost Joy to his schemes for Leonid's Manuscript.
-Deer Park is where little Qin Yi and Luming (first as a deer) meet and comfort each other, as shown in the Wishes on the Cloud event. They huddled together in the freezing winter and shared fruits that were hard to peel.
-The first time we visit Zither River in the game is during the Zither River Night event, where we go with Loen to watch the fireworks, and he shares memories of encountering a magic fox.
-As Nikki listens to the singer at Zither River, she remembers meeting Aphrodia at a tavern and learning about one of her past "lives" in Cloud, during Reedpipes of Old. Aphrodia decided that she would try being a singer in Cloud, and she met a cute songwriter in Reedpipe Song.
Fun Facts
-This is the first Cloud-inspired anniversary dress for Shining Nikki.
-In the Wishes on the Cloud event, Yexiao's Thousand Dreams suit is inspired by peach blossoms, too. No story connection, but it's interesting that the two peach blossom suits have stories in Cloudcrest.
