A star festival )
The star festival known as Tanabata Day, when you write down a heartfelt wish that would then be granted by a miracle.
Supposedly, the occasion originated from the tale of Orihime and Hikoboshi, two lovers who were forbidden to see each other after neglecting their duties. Orihime's father finally allowed them to meet on the condition that they do so on the 7th day of the 7th month, and only on that day of the year.

[No, Hubert, no it is not enough.]

It's a tradition birthed from legend. How does it not make sense?

Orihime wove clothes while Hikoboshi tended to the cows in Heaven. Because she always spent her time weaving clothes, Orihime could not look for a lover. Her father arranged her to meet Hikoboshi for this reason. And as her father, his word was law when he decided against their relationship.

Figures. Parents are like that. Why'd they listen?

It is only natural that they would obey her guardian.
