[secrowtary]

I suppose they might be. Everyone has their own story.

[ 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?

[mapsio]

Not a single chance, actually. Unless...

[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.

[secrowtary]

[ Was this her plan all along!!

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. ]

I wish for miss Noel to stay safe.

[mapsio]

Then I’ll keep a close eye on Noel-chan for you.

[ 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.

[secrowtary]

Oh, have you two met?

[ 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.

[mapsio]

I gave Noel-chan my coat one of the first times we met. I worried about her catching a cold.

[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.

[secrowtary]

[ 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.

[mapsio]

[She was...definitely in need. Haru wouldn't allow her to go without one!]

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.

[secrowtary]

I'm sorry, maybe bringing this subject up wasn't the best idea of mine.

[ Hibiki should've known better, really. ]

I'm sure you'll reunite sooner rather than later, though.

[mapsio]

Don't apologize. While I miss my friends at home the friends that I have made here mean just as much to me.

[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.

[secrowtary]

[ 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. ]

[mapsio]

That is quite a wish.

[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.

[secrowtary]

Do you think so?

[ 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. ]

[mapsio]

I think it might.

[Oh, she knows. SHE KNOWS.]
