Hm, okay, so does this take place in a particular season?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fall...... like September or October.

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

Ah ok, so how about: A large group of people stood silently on a solitary hillside on a crisp September day. The grass had faded to a brown, the leaves were turning to bright colors, which might have brought cheer to many, but not on this day. One figure, a girl, seemed to stand out from all the rest. The sky was grey and filled with clouds, hinting at the chance of rain. The gloomy, foreboding weather seemed to match that of the brewing storm inside of her.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
