[ It's difficult not to notice the huge metal tree on the first floor of their apartment building. Hibiki walks closer in order to examine it, only to notice the box with the talismans next to the peculiar tree. On top of that, there's someone he knows standing here, putting away a dry pen. ]
Haru-san, hello. [ Hibiki offers a pen, smiling softly at her. It's not like he's carrying a bunch of them at all times. ] Do you know what is this about?
Hibiki lets out a heavy sigh. Writing it down would be just as difficult as saying it out loud. As silly as it may sound, he still doesn't know if it's truly his wish, or just someone else's. ]
[ He can only guess how Noel looked back then if she needed a coat. ]
Is that so? I'm glad she met you, Haru-san.
[ Asking if Haru could become friends with her seems to be a little too much, but on the other hand...Hibiki wonders if that's even necessary. It's Haru, after all. ]
Akira told me a little about your group...you seem to be really good friends.
[ He doesn't even know he's being mean to himself. ]
I...I see. What a coincidence, I want to focus on the exact same thing.
[ That being said, he grabs one of the talismans and writes his wish right in front of Haru quite nonchalantly. It reads: "A bouquet of tiger lilies for Haru-san". She'll be able to see the neatly written letters soon enough because he hangs it on the tree branch right away, smiling to himself. ]
wish festival; action
Haru-san, hello. [ Hibiki offers a pen, smiling softly at her. It's not like he's carrying a bunch of them at all times. ] Do you know what is this about?
no subject
[She's written something and hung it on the tree already herself. Right now? She's looking for other wishes to grant.]
no subject
[ Wishes, his favorite subject. Hibiki looks up at the tree—in fact, he can see that there are some talismans hanging from the metal branches. ]
Have you written yours already?
[ Because you know, he's ready to climb this thing. ]
no subject
[There are several talismans, good luck finding Haru's.]
Are you thinking of writing one, Hibiki-kun?
no subject
I don't have a—
[ Last time he said that it didn't really end up well. Besides...a lot has changed since that time. ]
I just need to give it some more thought. Did you find something interesting?
[ He's eyeing some of the wishes hanging close to him. What in the world is kabedon and why would someone want a guidebook for that. ]
no subject
She's taking a look around the tree, humming...]
I wonder sometimes if some of the people here are trouble. Just as troubled as some of us can be.
no subject
[ Even though most of the talismans in sight have more to do with getting certain items more than anything. ]
There's no chance that you'll tell me which one is yours, am I right?
no subject
[Her lips curl into a more devious smile.]
If you tell me something that you would wish for, I’ll tell you which one is mine.
no subject

I wish for miss Noel to stay safe.
no subject
[ She points to a talisman that looks like it would be in her line of sight. It’s definitely her handwriting.
“I wish for my friends to live meaningful lives.”]
It’s a little silly...I didn’t want to use this tree to wish for something physical.
no subject
[ Perhaps he shouldn't be so surprised, the coven isn't that big. ]
It's not. I...I'd like to live a meaningful life. I'm sure your wish will help me achieve that.
no subject
[It was a Situation.]
I think you will. I wish that for all of my friends here and all of the ones left behind at home.
no subject
Is that so? I'm glad she met you, Haru-san.
[ Asking if Haru could become friends with her seems to be a little too much, but on the other hand...Hibiki wonders if that's even necessary. It's Haru, after all. ]

no subject
She is a sweet girl. I wouldn't allow her to come by any harm, even if it was just the cold.
[And then he starts talking about the group, ah... Haru remembers often how much she misses them.]
We did all grow very close, it's true.
no subject
[ Hibiki should've known better, really. ]
I'm sure you'll reunite sooner rather than later, though.
no subject
[NO BEING MEAN TO YOURSELF, HIBIKI.]
I want to reunite with them, but I want to focus on what is in front of me right now.
no subject
I...I see. What a coincidence, I want to focus on the exact same thing.

no subject
[She might hope that those flowers are going to appear for her. But she won't expect it.]
But it's a sweet one nonetheless.
no subject
[ When did he get so cheeky, honestly?! ]
I hope it'll come true sooner rather than later.
[ He'll have giggle maps show him the way to the nearest flower shop the moment this conversation is over, basically. ]
no subject
[Oh, she knows. SHE KNOWS.]
