WHO: everyone!
WHERE: the pasture
WHEN: day 22, all day

[the morning of day 22 begins with a light drizzle, as has been typical for the past few days. but despite the damp weather, a playlist of music also echoes across the pasture, luring you towards the center!]

[there, you will find that someone has planted a large bamboo tree, which is surrounded by wooden tables that are covered with colorful slips of paper and pens. a colorful sign, decorated with random doodles of stars, clouds, suns, and other fun shapes, contains a set of instructions:]

WELCOME TO TANABATA!

WRITE A WISH ON A PIECE OF PAPER AND TIE IT TO THE BAMBOO TREE.

HAVE FUN!

[the music and the bamboo wishing tree are a great start to the festival, but other people have been hard at work to make this a day to remember, right?]

[it's time to celebrate Tana-baa-ta!]

Geniuses are exhausting. And frustrating on a personal level. All of that talent while the rest of us must put in endless hard work. How truly blessed he is.

[ He nods though, after a moment. ]

Perhaps we could ask him his thoughts? I would think he would enjoy playing with his brother.

You'd have to catch him in the right mood, but we could certainly try.

Do my chances increase if you are there with me?

Not at all.

Give me a hint as to what might sway him.

[His smile becomes slightly more strained.]

I... wish I could.

You cannot recall...?

Or... perhaps he is so fickle that even you are unsure.

Both of these things, I think...

So your own memories have been tampered with, perhaps, too. How truly frustrating. It is vexing not to know someone or a particular story when it seems commonplace to another.
