Twenty-three went out. Twenty-one came back. Today, instead of writing names down, I crossed them out, and I learned for the first time that crossing out takes far longer.

• MyokanI've already written the two of them down on my end. Shall I cross out, on my paper too, the names you crossed out with your own hand?
  Toba TsuyuDon't cross them out. I'm the one who erases. You're the one who writes. That's exactly why the shrine exists.
• Asano UtaThe rice ball I set aside is still in the kitchen.
  Toba TsuyuI'll eat it tonight. Cold is fine. Don't give it to anyone else.
