>Oh well.
>I'm just happy that my descendants are thriving.

>She looks like she's doing a grave visit or something...
"Namu" is a Japanese Buddhist phrase, derived from Sanskrit "námas", meaning something like "devotion" or "reverence".

>Plus,
>they seem to be giving me offerings.
>Why?

>Ah!
>That's right!

>Since I'm an ancestor to these guys,
>I must have been summoned to Wagashison for Obon!
Obon is a major religious festival generally celebrated around August. One major component of the festival is the idea that ancestral spirits are called by their descendants to briefly visit the world of the living again.

>But I'm still alive! Isn't Obon supposed to be a system where the living do the summoning!?
>Honored ancestor.

>The descendants over there would like a visit, too.
>Honored ancestor!

>The ones over there, as well.
