[Honestly! What an idiot this man is at times! Sakuya swipes over with one wing in an attempt to grab the little piece of paper away from Tamaki; maybe once it's out of sight, he'll calm down and think rationally. Rationally, rationally!]
Calm yourself, Suou! Panicking over nothing won't improve matters at all! If you're so convinced that this fortune is destined to come true, there must also be some way to avoid that fate! There is always a loophole built into that sort of tradition. For example, my mother once told me of a custom involving the fortunes at Japanese shrines during holiday celebrations. There is a certain rare fortune that one may receive in an envelope; whomever lays eyes upon it will die in seven days' time, but the crisis may be averted by tying the fortune to a wire fence and then spending an evening watching a film with a loved one. . . . Though I don't recall if it needs to be a specific film. The point is, there must be some traditional custom to ward off any danger--if you are convinced there is a danger!
[Sure, that seems perfectly rational. Sakuya may be terribly gullible himself about the customs of non-French cultures, but at least he's calm about it.]
