☤15 (earlier in the day)

Hm. How nice of the castle to provide a little glimpse of home, even if it is all a lie.

[He glances outside where crowds are already strolling by dressed in yukata and carrying blankets to set on the lawn.]

Coincidentally, today is the day of the Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival, if I remember correctly. It started in the early 1700s as a way to appease the masses after a devastating famine, and eventually became a competition between firework makers that continues today.

I imagine if you hurry, you can find a spot near the river to watch, though I'm sure you can see it from almost anywhere.

I'm already in the area, as it happens. I'd be happy to save a good spot, if anyone were open to joining me. Fireworks shouldn't be viewed alone.
