2. Oh, I hear the drums echo like a drumbeat in a ballad, want to turn stars into verses?

4. Will.

They debated the night sky versus lanterns, highlighting their differing priorities.

1. The constellations over the festival seem oddly bright tonight...

2. 1. The illumination is due to the lanterns, not the stars; note the error.

3. I was mapping the new stalls, trying to avoid the crowd's noise...

4. 2. Your avoidance is inefficient; you could record data faster by staying closer.
