Still, a celebration of wishes like this, it stirs something in him long dormant--an eleven-year-old boy who should have perished long ago. He can't help but feel strangely at peace here, as he did once before here, months ago in the snow in a week of no sun, despite his general discomfort with social gatherings.
It's...enough to have him even make a wish.

So she smiles up at him, tilts her head and wonders what she should say. After that fireworks incident...]
Did you make a wish too, Scar-san?

He nods in response to her question, and meanwhile, though he doesn't go to tie it to the tree, he mentally makes another wish--that the spark in her eyes as she looks at him never fades.]
And you?

[But she does reach up and pat his arm. He seems better from before... and while Mei doesn't know much about what happened in his past, she does know that Scar's suffered enough. She's glad he's here, that he can get this chance to take a break from it all.]
I hope your wish comes true.

That's all right.
[He appreciates the sentiment when Mei tells him she hopes his wish comes true, and maybe the first part can. Maybe he'll never get sent home by the Door. It's already been eight months, after all.
The second part...he sincerely doubts.]
Thanks. You too.

I will make sure they do.
[She looks away from him, around at the other people here, at the wishes growing and beams.] Are you hungry, Scar-san?

Thank you.
[The subject change is greatly appreciated, and while he's not particularly hungry, he's not particularly opposed to it either, and really, he has nothing better to do now that the wish-making is done.]
Not really, but I don't mind joining you if you are.

[She comes up behind Scar, and her tone is light and a little teasing.]

I'm a bit surprised myself. I'm...not really sure why I came.
Reply
[Because seriously, getting Scar out of his antisocial hole is always a good thing]
Reply
Uh. Thank you?
[He has. No idea how to properly respond to that.]

Are you enjoying yourself so far? Did you make a wish?
Reply
[Not really bothering to answer the other question, because really, Scar and "enjoying himself" should not be in the same sentence.]
Reply
[She won't ask what he wished for, of course, because she wouldn't expect him to want to answer any more than she would want to.]
Do you know the story behind Tanabata?
