"This is it."
"This can't be it."
The white towncar slowed to a stop in front of a dim, water-stained storefront in a row where most of the other shops had been boarded up. The sign, to those able to read obscure kanji, proclaimed it to be The Institute for the Study of Cosmological Harmonics. Robert couldn't even see past the grime ( ... )

"This one is very nice," the shop attendant said in a sedate, measured voice. She handed Saito a ceramic sakazuki, a low sake cup. Saito smiled, obviously charmed by its craftsmanship, and passed it to Robert. It was tactile, pleasantly heavy to handle, finished in carmine red. He could feel it retain the warmth of Saito's hand ( ... )

"You hold it like this," said Yui, removing the smallest of the set, and resting in his cupped hands. "And when you drink, you take small sips."
"Three of them, from each of the three cups. It's a number that can't be divided in two," said Saito. "It symbolizes the unbreakability of our union."
"Well. That's nice."
"The ceremony is called san-san-ku-do. Three-three-nine-times. Triple happiness."
There were subtle iridescent shades in the glaze. Every way he turned the sakazuki, it was a little different. "What does this mean?" Robert asked Saito, pointing to the character imprinted on the bottom of the cup.
"'Eternity,'" he said. "Fitting for a marriage cup, yes?"
He set it down.
"Is that what the cups you used for your first wedding said, too?"
"Robert -- " said Saito, very close to being exasperated. " -- Can you really not tolerate any of these?"
"I don't think you should ask me about what I'm tolerating. You might not like the answer." Robert stood up ( ... )

"For what?"
"Anything that you want."
They stood in silence for a few seconds. Robert stole a glance at Saito, who stood with his head bowed and his eyes closed. His expression was solemn. He wondered what he was thinking. He closed his eyes, and tried to come up with something. Dear sirs -- and madams: I suppose my fiancé has already told you about the wedding, he thought, so if that means I get a prayer left over, I'll just ask you to please make sure the florist calls back by Monday. I'd really appreciate it.

Their rehearsal dinner, if it could even be called that, was uneventful. Saito had let the words kekkon-shiki slip while he was making small talk with the waiter, and the young man had returned with a complimentary bottle of champagne. Robert was left feeling more flushed and talkative than he should have after only two glasses, until he remembered he hadn't drunk alcohol since they had seen Wada. Snow was falling as they left the restaurant; enough to stick to the street in some places. As ( ... )

It was.
In the shrine, they knelt together and received nine sips of sake. It burned his throat a little, but warmed his stomach. Please, he thought, not entirely sure who he was asking, or what he was asking for. And thank you.
"You see?" said Saito, twisting the ring that had just been placed around his finger. "It was nothing to be afraid of. Nothing about us has really changed."
"Not much," Robert agreed. "But a little."
Outside, Wada waited for them, lifting a red umbrella to shield them from the snow. Robert stole one last glance behind them. The wind was blowing, and the snow had begun to drift, but their two sets of footprints were still visible. However temporary it was, there was a record that they had walked there, side by side.
