[Morning of the Twenty-Thirst of June] (Text)

Hey everyone, happy Summer Solstice!

Yeah, I checked, and it turns out this is the longest day of the year here in Lunatia. They, uh, don't seem to celebrate it, though. Kinda strange, back home it was a pretty big deal. There was a big feast, planting seeds and starting gardens... oh, the flower crowns! Everybody got at least one. Some people had trouble wearing all the ones they had.

Also I think stuff with alcohol and... well, that stuff my Dad would have killed me for getting involved with, so nevermind.

Anyway, any of you guys have celebrations like that? And Riku, Sora, we've got to at least get some crowns made before the day's over!

[What Kairi isn't saying is, the Summer Solstice is also her birthday, or at least the day they've celebrated it since she arrived on the islands. But hey, she won't make a big deal out of that, and the only ones who know are her boys.]

Happy birthday, Kairi!

In a few weeks it will be Tanabata; which is a festival about romance and wishes, but a lot of other things get folded into it. It's nice...

Hmm... I can't say that we celebrated the solstice back home. Then again, with how few of us there were, it probably would've been difficult to do anything like you're describing anyway.

Given they are all about moon phases I don't think they really care what the longest day of the year is...

[Kairi talking about traditions they have back home makes Sora feel weird. It's not exactly homesickness, he's never really felt that way about the islands in the way that others do. He misses certain people more than the sands and sea. He hasn't really thought about holidays or celebrations back home either. Still, he feels listless and uncomfortable.

He'd much rather focus on celebrating her.]

Anything for the birthday girl!
