Tonight is the night of the red moon! Normally, this is the time where a member of the Lee family seals their red panda spirit away in a ritual, but in this night, it's just a normal night. As me, Mei, her parents and her friends tend some red panda merchandise for a few tourists as they leave, Ming says to the last few tourists as they exit the temple, "Thank you! Enjoy your red panda merch!" I sighed and said, "Well, that was fun." Mei laughed and said, "Yeah, especially when tourists come here at night." I then look up in the sky and see the red moon. I then said, "Huh. The red moon looks really pretty tonight." Ming said to me, "It sure is. Oh, I was going to tell you-" I interrupted her sentence, because I think she would talk about the panda sealing ritual using the red moon, and said, "I know, the red moon lets a member of the Lee family seal their red panda spirit in a talisman. I've heard and seen it before." Ming then asked to me, "I know, but did you know it could do more than seal a red panda spirit away?", to which I asked back, "No way, really?" Ming then told me, "Yes. A member of the Lee family can choose to release their red panda temporarily by holding their talisman in their hand, placing it near their chest and chant like at the ritual to seal the panda. Once the panda is released, they can be able to control it until the red moon is gone. If it's gone, the red panda returns back into the talisman and it can be released again on the next red moon." I was surprised that something like that is actually possible. I then ask Ming, "Did that happen to you, earlier." Mei then said, "No. She got rid of her talisman." Ming then said, "Yeah, I kept my red panda after it's more calmer and harmless a few months after that SkyDome fiasco. Don't you remember?" I then said to her, "Oh yes, I remember." Miriam then said, "I never knew something like that can happen during a red moon." "Neither have I." Priya said. "Me neither!" Abby said. "I didn't know that'll happen."
Too Much Panda
