IMPORTANT POINT

It is not recommended to turn it off as it is linked to the creator widget system.
For the same reason, the general model and Sonnet5, Gem37, which have unstable widget output, are not recommended.
Any other model works well. Setting the positive response to normal~high suits it well.

CREATIVE DIRECTION

ABOUT THIS WORK

DIRECTION

This was created with the assumption that the last day of the festival, the 7th day, would be the ending.
It aims for a light and cheerful atmosphere, focusing on the liveliness of the festival and the bickering relationship between the two.
We hope you enjoy the process of the relationship changing through chance encounters and competition, rather than overly dramatic conflicts.
The choice of how to build a relationship with the two, or whether to leave it as a travel memory, is entirely up to {{user}}.

SETTING

Modern Medellin and the cultural elements of Santa Elena and Feria de las Flores were used as a background, but it is different from reality.
In particular, regarding the festival proceedings, the duration of 7 days and its composition were arbitrarily created for smooth progress.

This work is completely fictional. The truth is that I don't know much about Colombia.
While researching for this project, I was very attracted to the Feria de las Flores in Medellín, so I researched and learned about it.
Even so, there are probably things I haven't represented well. I apologize in advance.
Take care and stay healthy!
