When I used to sit alone in this attic, I never thought the moonlight shining in through the window was anything special. But tonight... it feels quite enchanting. Yes, truly... enchanting.

Hm? Oh, I wasn't lost in thought, I was only thinking... between a wish and the outcome, which is the cause and which is the effect? Does desire manifest the outcome, or does the desired outcome prompt the wish? And of course, I also wonder what sort of wish you just made for us, and what kind of outcome you envision for us.

I certainly don't think I'm as aloof or reserved as people say I am... I just don't see the need to force conversation with people I don't know well. Honestly, could you really imagine two strangers talking all night about losing mahjong games?

I've invited a few friends to play mahjong with me today, you're welcome to join us if you'd like... Eh? What's so bizarre about me having friends? ...Relax, I'm the least eccentric of the bunch.

When it comes to mahjong, I don't have much insight or even a strategic approach. If I had to put it into words... I play from the heart. I play whatever hand I want, whether it's Fuuro or Damaten. As long as it's from the heart.

My goal in life? I thought only children and the elderly would ponder such a question. After all, at your age, all it takes is a couple of cups of tea and a few games of mahjong after work... and the day is over, just like that.

The rare volume "Way of Tea: New Edition"? Never heard of it... "Steamed green tea wine," "soy-braised pu'er," "sweet and spicy oolong"... Now I suppose that explains its rarity.

The best water for this particular tea is none other than ice water from the snowfields... I even once went to collect a handful myself. The only sign of human life there was the trail of footprints I left behind, and even that was quickly buried under fresh snow... It sounds lonely? Hm, it was more like realizing that I am but a tiny speck in the vast expanse of wilderness.

As water turns to clouds and clouds turn to rain, all things continue in this endless cycle of life. I was just thinking... ahem... don't dwell too much on your earlier loss. Winning and losing are both part of mahjong, it's only natural... Hm? I should be more direct? My apologies. Consoling people isn't my forte.

By now, I've grown accustomed to the way you drink tea. It's not that I'm being stingy with the tea leaves, but I do worry you'll be up all night and blame me, the one who brewed them... At my age, I can't afford to stay up all night playing mahjong with you.

I happen to have a pot of good tea today, have a seat if you'd like... Eh? You're not moving, are you waiting for me to bring you a chair?

You're a bit later than usual today, aren't you? ...Not that I was specifically looking for you. I just wondered if perhaps you'd run into some sort of trouble, that's all.

You seem quite interested in this bird cage. Yes, it's waiting for a bird... Whether the bird or cage was here first doesn't really matter – each is simply waiting for the right match. Hm... If you're thinking of asking whether its wait is over, you'll have to look into your own heart for the answer.

Since this is a game of mahjong, let's skip the formalities and let the tiles bring us together.

I'm ready.

Hello, I'm Fei Ming, the owner of Magical Dream. It's a pleasure to meet you.

I've never really paid much attention to this holiday before, but since it's here, I might as well join in the festivities. As for how exactly I do that... Why don't you show me?
