Ah, it's almost the seventh, isn't it? ... That means that by this time back home, we'd be having Tanabata festivals already.

[ Her voice sounds just as usual - pretty casual - deadpan, even. But suddenly there's a hint of something else in it too, perhaps slight bitterness if you listen closely enough and look through the first layer of deadpan

Ahhhh, Tanabata would be nice~!

[isolatedpiece]

Don't you agree we have more important things to do here than celebrate such an useless holiday?

[flowwithdestiny]

Perhaps. But then why have holidays at all?

[isolatedpiece]

Don't ask me, I'm not the one who came up with the idea.

[flowwithdestiny]

Do you not enjoy the idea of a holiday?

[isolatedpiece]

As long as it's something as useless as making wishes during Tanabata, I have no interest in it.

[flowwithdestiny]

A useless wish is still a wish.

[isolatedpiece]

It's not like wishes fulfill themselves, so they're by definition all useless.

[flowwithdestiny]

Not necessarily. What do you think people live on?

[isolatedpiece]

What people live on..? [ a beat. ] What sort of question is that?

Although I guess technically it's oxygen and food and drinks, but there's probably some more philosophical answer for it.

[flowwithdestiny]

Of course we need those things, but we still feel sadness and pain.
