[ Watanagashi is definitely the biggest of the summer festivals in Hinamizawa, but that doesn't mean that the others aren't celebrated. Tanabata's still an event, if a much more subdued one. There isn't as much in the way of games and food stalls, but there still are the decorations, and the town still comes out to celebrate.

Of course, it means that there aren't really any good club activities to be had, but that suits Mion just fine right now. For one, having already graduated from the club, it'd be pretty lonely if all her friends - and her boyfriend - were having fun without her. And for another, it's kind of nice being able to attend a festival with just Kei-chan by her side. Some of the older aunts might complain that it's improper to have a date for a traditional festival, but she doesn't care. The whole point of Tanabata was to reunite lovers, after all.

But even if there's not much of a festival itself, there's still the time-honored tradition of hanging one's wishes from the trees. She's already written her standard yearly wishes (for her grandmother's health, for the prosperity of the town), in addition to a few special ones (namely, for this year's entrance exams). But those aren't the only things she's wishing for now.

A year ago, she might've debated putting up a wish for him to notice that she was a girl, or that he'd return her feelings - completely de-identified, of course, to avoid accidentally outing herself. But there's no need for that now. She's truly lucky to have had him feel the same way about her, because dating him has been the most fun she could have ever had. He loves her and supports her - whether when she's stressed about family stuff or when it comes to schooling - but also challenges her and keeps her laughing. He makes her so happy.

It's with those sorts of fond thoughts in her head that lead her to write down and hang up her next wish: I wish we could be together like this forever. Maybe it's hyperbole, in a sense - they're much too young to really commit to forevers - but even so, the thought isn't unappealing. She likes the idea of being able to come home to him, to share a life and a family with him. But really, what she means with this wish is that she hopes they can be happy together for as long as possible. Even if it's not forever - even if they're each other's firsts but not lasts - she wants to see it through for as long as it goes.

As she's putting it up, she doesn't try to hide it from him, though she's not showing it off either. It's sappy, but if there's anything to these wishes, it's worth the risk of a little embarrassment. ]
