Last night was Tanabata. According to a myth from China, a
princess (Orihime) and a man (Hikoboshi) can meet once a
year, last night. Orihime is the constellation Vega and
Hikoboshi is Altair. A funny thing is that they could've
met more than one day if they could communicate better.
After being commanded by the Sky King to break up, Orihime
promise to see her lover "7 days from 7th"
(「七日、七日に会いましょう」). Only, Hikoboshi got it
wrong and repeated "Let's meet on 7/7"
(「七月七日に会いましょう」).
Still even a week a year seems too short for a pair of star-crossed lovers....
