On this day last year, I wished for selfish things. If I had foreseen the future, I probably would have wished for something else. Orihime and Hikoboshi are probably laughing at me right now.

The gift of hindsight prevents us from making the same mistake in the future, not from making it at all.

If things didn't turn out as you would have hoped or wished for, all that can be done is to learn from it.

[lunchpenalty]

Ah, well...

At least I can think back and say to myself, "Kyon, you were an idiot. 'Give me money.' Seriously?"

...It seems like such a childish wish, now.

[angelic_lawyer]

I think most people view their younger selves as idiotic.

[lunchpenalty]

Does that include you, Naruse-sensei?

[latteheart]

Ah...is it Tanabata today? It seems I've lost track of time...

[lunchpenalty]

It's July 7th already. Haruhi wouldn't let me forget, even if I wanted to.

[latteheart]

Wow...it doesn't seem like I've been here that long, but...

Hmm. So, what will Kyon wish for this year?

[lunchpenalty]

I'm not sure. Definitely not something selfish. Maybe for Discedo to be a good place to live since we're all stuck here.

[godpwnsu]

Quit whining.

[lunchpenalty]

I wa--... I wasn't whining, Haruhi.

[godpwnsu]

Whatever. It's natural to make wishes for yourself.

[lunchpenalty]

...I think that's one of the nicest things you've ever said to me, Haruhi.

[x_dilettante_x]

What would you have wish for then?

Is not a wish selfish by default?

[Voice; Japanese]

[lunchpenalty]

I could have wished for something good for someone else. Instead, I just said, "Give me money."

Tanabata is when you write down your wish, so....

[Voice; Japanese]

[x_dilettante_x]

That is not a bad wish; if you had gotten the money you could have bought something good for someone else.

Tanabata? I have never heard of that.

[Voice; Japanese] Now my username makes sense. |D His penalty for tadiness was paying for lunches!

[lunchpenalty]

Haha. Yeah. Except I thin I lost more money than I gained. Haruhi made me pay for a lot of lunches.

[to_blossom]

Is it safe for me to ask?

[lunchpenalty]

Ask... what, exactly?

[to_blossom]

About what you wished for.

You're not usually supposed to tell anyone if you wanted it to come true. Isn't that how it goes?

[lunchpenalty]

Aha. That's just for birthday wishes, isn't it? For Tanabata, you have to make you wished publicly known! Haruhi prefers painting them on the roof.

Last year I was selfish and wished for money. But Haruhi made me celebrate it when I didn't want to, so....
