THE TANABATA FESTIVAL

[ It's a breezy summer day on Isle Bermuda. There are gulls crying, a few lazy clouds, and plenty of sunshine with a cooling wind.

Today also happens to be a special event! It's time for Tanabata, and seemingly out of nowhere, a thicket of bamboo has sprung up in the trees near the shoreline. Speaking of the beach, a festival seems to be underway; there are lanterns strung up, fresh food, and plenty of goat-people selling fresh food and games.

The festival goes long into the evening, so don't miss it!

The tradition of Tanabata, as you will notice, is to write a wish on a tag and hang it from a bamboo tree. So make a wish and hope for the best! ♥ And what's this? A mysterious, female voice is drifting along, carried by the wind; ]


The bamboo leaves rustle,
shaking away in the eaves.
The stars twinkle
on the gold and silver grains of sand.
The five-colour paper strips
I have already written.
The stars twinkle,
they watch us from heaven.

Sometimes it's a long walk to get where you want to go.

[Or to try to avoid a place where you don't want to go, as the case may be.]

It's not far from my home. But I guess starting in reality makes things longer. Time doesn't mean much to me anymore.

...Mm, I guess it really wouldn't anymore.

[Time doesn't mean much to the living either when you spend every day in a room. Only that you'll eventually run out of it when you get older and older and then die alone if you end up never leaving.]

[he gives her a bit of a look.]

What do you dream about?

Nothing that would be of interest to you.

[A rather quick answer, and possibly a lie at that.]

[he doesn't look too bothered by it.]

Alright. But I'm still curious. Only know the inside of her head.

I don't really want too many people knowing the inside of mine.

[Especially not the potential nightmares of other people knowing.]

[aww...he's not that bad. just really creepy. and murderous...]

Okay. I won't ask again. It'll stay not known for me.

Good. [Maybe someday she'll say something about it if she ever actually feels like it. But not now--she doesn't really trust you at all.]
