~26 [ video post ]

[ the video turns on with Japan surprisingly outside the mansion. he seems to be having difficulty walking a bit while carrying the long piece of bamboo which is definitely taller than him ]

I am glad the vendor's had these..

[ he stops in front of the entrance to the Mansion and sticks the bamboo next to the door. After making sure it stays upright, he notices the camera on and turns towards it ]

Ah, I realize we are right in the middle of a...uncomfortable event, but I did want to celebrate this. Today is Tanabata, the day when Orihime and Hikoboshi are allowed to cross the Milky Way and meet each other. In my country, we celebrate this day by writing our wishes on a piece of paper and hanging them on this bamboo. If anyone would like to join in on this celebration, please do. I will leave the papers next to the bamboo.

[ he sets down a stack of vertically long paper next to the bamboo, and bows to the camera before switching it off ]

Oh, I forgot about that.

Does anyone not wish to leave?

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

I had almost forgotten as well.

Ah..I suppose they may put that. It is not a crime to wish, after all.

[calculatedfire.livejournal.com]

it just seems that it may become redundant. But maybe some peole don't think about it. There's enough strangeness here.

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

It is a hard wish to be granted. Perhaps some people would rather not think about it.

[calculatedfire.livejournal.com]

That just means that they've accepted being here.

I met you before when we were younger right? You called yourself Japan.

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it is easier to live by accepting things.

Younger....ah! I-I am sorry, I hope I did not cause you trouble or anything during that time...!

[calculatedfire.livejournal.com]

Our problems seem to stem from accepting bad situations.

No. I think yu were kind to me because I a Japanese.

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

Yes, most people here seem to accept all kinds of situations gradually.

Ah...uu..I see. I..am glad.

[calculatedfire.livejournal.com]

I hate having to accept it, but since everyone has, it implies that this is a hopeless situation.

I hate this event too.

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

It.....pretty much is a hopeless situation..

It is a rather frustrating event...

[calculatedfire.livejournal.com]

It's not that I lie, it' just that I dislike being force to be so open. And I'm not comfortable expressing so much emotion.

[You can actually see him getting more irritated as he's forced to continue speaking]

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

I can understand that feeling... I tend not to completely say what I feel as well.

[calculatedfire.livejournal.com]

It's better that way.

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

Although sometimes it does come to be of an disadvantage.

[calculatedfire.livejournal.com]

Possibly, but it seems most troubles come from people speaking far too much.

[alwaysrec.livejournal.com]

I suppose there are ups and downs to everything.

[calculatedfire.livejournal.com]

Yes, there are. But the rules exist for a reason.
