Safe to say, a place like a festival could be a sensory smorgasboard for most psychic-types. There was plenty of minds, and plenty of feelings, for one to process. But, for someone so scent-oriented like Artemis - in a place full of food and people - one would think it'd be almost sensory overload when factored in!

But, the little Spoink happily hopped along - sniffing at every little thing that caught her eye - as she led the way for El. Every so often, she'd pause to glance back at them - making sure that they were keeping up - before she continued onwards, happily grunting along the way.

It didn't take long for the two to reach their destination, though - a bamboo grove, with tanzaku hanging from them. But more importantly, was a familiar face found amongst the people milling here.

"There you are!" El chirped as they approached - smiling over to their older brother. "Were you hanging up a wish? I should do that, too," They mused out loud - already moving to retrieve a tanzaku for themself. What would be a good wish, they wondered... Perhaps something simple?

A wish for a long and happy life, with their friends and family. That'd work!

Once the tanzaku was properly written upon and hung, they'd smile over to Isaac - mentioning "C'mon - Artemis sniffed out a real good food cart over this way - let's get something to eat!" Cause there was nothing better, than getting to spend time with one's family like this.

In a way, their wish was already coming true, right?

The glowing lights were a beautiful sight, that Makoto couldn't help but find themself dazzled by as they walked alongside Tsukiko. Though it'd been some time since they settled into the new normal their life had become after joining Rocket, it still sometimes felt surreal to be simply... Existing, amongst other people. Their gaze would settle on someone and sometimes, that little survival instinct at the back of their head whispered to them 'How much is in that one's wallet?' - but...

... They could safely ignore that voice. Cause they had money - the funds to survive, and perhaps even thrive once they got used to budgeting it. They had a home, food, water... What else could one ask for, in this world, really?

Well - a lot, perhaps. That was why there were so many wishes left hanging here, after all, right? Makoto glanced to each one briefly - curious about what each individual desired so deeply. Safety? Happiness? Indulgence? Perhaps they, too, should add a wish to this mess - though the question was what they would even ask for...

... Maybe, just 'answers' was enough. Answers for the questions that kept plaguing them in life, and perhaps a little bit of direction..
