Returning to England this summer felt a bit more fulfilling than previous summers. Was she, perhaps, growing a bit of an ego? There certainly was a bit more something to her stride and the way she carried herself - and not simply because she had grown a bit more over her fifth year at Hogwarts. The first place plaque for an individual performance at the Shodō Performance Kōshien as well as Himitsumahou claiming the team title had left her plenty to feel proud and accomplished, not being second in particular stroked a part of her personality all too often neglected.

Perhaps it was this sense of honor that brought her back to the Memorial Garden after so long. The pride combined with joining Uncle Ryu and Takashi for Obon festivities in their late grandmother's hometown was enough to elicit a need for reflection, gratitude, and remembrance. The majority of the names engraved here were unknown to her, but it did not make her purpose here any less genuine.

Pulling her bat winged backpack in front of her as she walked along the mosaic path (taking great care not to step on any yellow pieces), Mitsuki searched through it until she found the little container of sliced cucumbers she had prepared for today's excursion. Arriving at the pond, she took in the phoenix sculpture and decided that she would very much like to capture it with her watercolors. But first, she had something else to accomplish. Mitsuki carefully popped off the lid and began to slowly pace around the pond, leaving a slice of cucumber every seven or eight steps atop the soil or stone if one was available.
