Is this a custom from your world?

[ nods. ]

It used to be. It's not very widely practiced anymore.

Huh, that's unfortunate. It looks like a pretty nice one.

It's a traditional Japanese holiday, is all. [ but he doesn't go on to explain why that is the problem. ] It's called Tanabata, for the seventh day of the seventh month.

I see. And what does it celebrate?

It's to commemorate the once-a-year meeting of two deities named Orihime and Hikoboshi, who are separated by a river of stars. Each year on July seventh the Milky Way dissipates and they're able to reach each other.

Heh, that's cute. It's based on constellations?

Yes. That's why it's important that the stars are visible on the water's surface when your wishes are set afloat. If they can't be seen, it's said that Orihime and Hikoboshi have to wait another year before they can see each other again.
