[The video clicks on to a thoughtful looking Matthew--maybe a little melancholic, but definitely thoughtful. He's got a bottle of milk next to him, and seems to be...sitting on a rooftop.]

Hey.

I know we all get stuck here and wonder about our captors and all, trust me, I wonder too.

But today's a holiday, did you know? I didn't know either, because it's not a holiday in my world.

[A contemplative look at the bottle of milk before he continues.]

...Someone else here taught me about it.

Ever heard of Tanabata? I don't know much about it, but I guess it's worth celebrating.

[And he lifts the bottle of milk in a bit of an ironic toast.]

Have you guys learned anything from the people around you? You might as well not waste the trip.

Tanabata...

[Rue tilts her head, knowing she's heard the word before. And she's silent for a moment before she continues.]

I believe I've celebrated it before. Here, in Vatheon.

...But it isn't a holiday in my "world" either.

[Are there even any holidays to be celebrated, in Gold Crown?

She wonders-- but she supposes it doesn't matter much anymore.]

Hey, Rue.

Sounds like it's a decent celebration, to be honest. It involves wishes and everything.

Yes, I remember.

[Okay, for the most part. She could use a refresher, probably, but... she definitely attended.

Mr. Japan even gave her a kimono to wear.]

You are interested, then?

[They could celebrate together or something. She doesn't really know--]

[He considers, tilting his head.]

...Sort of. I was just...reminiscing, you know? There's so much to learn in places like this.

It is true.

...I suppose I should thank you for reminding me, then. [About Tanabata.]
