midway | heaven / mizu

[good morning! mizu is looking up at the christmas tree in confusion.]

What's all this for...?

We call it Yuletide where I'm from, but I believe it goes by another name here.

Never heard of it?

No. [ shakes head... ] What is it?

Just a winter celebration. The days can be so dull and dark, you know?

Nothing like that where you're from?

We have our festivals. But they don't look like this.

What are they like then?

Less gaudy, to start with.

There must've been decorations though.

I said less, didn't I?

You're not painting a very good picture.

Wasn't aware I was supposed to be selling you on our traditions.

I meant there is no picture. Not that the picture is bad.
