After all of the excitement
After all of the excitement, things are totally quiet again. It's sort of freaky! SHI is closed and everyone has gone home to celebrate Obon, which is a big Japanese holiday where people celebrate their ancestors. Everything is closed, not just the lab – all of the factories and business are dark and silent, too.
Things will be quiet for a few more days, until the holiday is over. I get a little time to myself, to rest and relax and think about my “ancestors” (like Astro-E). Maybe I'll catch up on my reading. But when everyone gets back, it's time to leave!
