[with everything that had been happening - mostly the missing month where he'd been in the Dream Sphere - he forgot to ask for time off to visit his family in Tokyo for the Obon festival. Or, rather, this is the first time he's been away from his family and the thought that he'd need to travel to spend Obon with them never crossed his mind until it was too late]
I'll be sure to get a ticket next year...
[which is why he's making his way to Hikawa Shrine after a shift at Camellia, phone held up to his ear and a somewhat complicated smile on his face]
Yeah, it was pretty busy the last couple of months... Mhm... Yeah. It's a little strange doing this alone- No, I'll be okay! ... Mm... Heh, I'll let you know when I visit again...
[he looks up, as if sensing someone's attention and gives a little wave]
Say 'hello' to uncle and everyone for me, okay? [he hangs up before turning his attention to you] Hello, are you also going to the shrine to celebrate Obon?
