Every year the reunion of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl is celebrated on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month as the Qixi Festival

In 2023 The Qixi Festival took place on August 22nd in the 2nd half of 1.2, coinciding with Kafka's debut banner and Companion Mission release.

While Kafka didn't make an appearance in 2024, in 2025 we meet her again in the current event which began in the 2nd half of this patch just 4 days after this year's Qixi Festival on August 29th. Her drink in this event, "Traces of Stars Converging" may also be a reference to the legend. The Cowherd and Weaver Girl are supposed to be the stars Altair and Vega. So, the Qixi Festival is celebrating the idea of the two stars coming together, or converging.

If the trend continues TB and Kafka's next reunion should be sometime around August 19th next year or August 8th, 2027, if she skips a year again.

The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is said to be a story that represents patience, devotion, and the willingness to overcome insurmountable obstacles for love. The tale is often used as a metaphor for lovers separated by circumstance and in literature and media to express the idea of love that transcends barriers and endures hardships.

Since Kafka's release both of her reunions with Trailblazer have roughly coincided with the annual reunions of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, the same legend referenced by Kafka's suspected poem from 1.0, possibly letting us predict their future meetings.
