Nana: Happy Halloween you guys! They don't have Halloween in Japan, but they do have the O-Bon festival, a day that celebrates the memory of the dead. So here's Akito's take on it!
Title: Day Two Of The O-Bon Festival
Prompt: 009.
Months
Rating: PG-13
The tamadana's nearly done, he's got the picture set up, the rush mat woven and the vegetables set out. All that's needed is a horse carved of cucumber; no he can't help making it resemble Rin. Hari comes in and asks him what's happening, who they know that's died. "Well," Akito says, "I'm dying, and none of you are going to do this when I go. I have months left, and this has to be done at least once."
Hatori says, "we'll be devastated when you die. Don't make a shrine for yourself, you are still alive. Please know that."
