She moved it to Wednesday evening and posted the noticeboard notice with the same efficiency she brought to everything. The notice read: Vow discussion session, 7pm, living room. All attendees. Below it, in smaller text: This is a planning item. Come prepared to discuss format.
Yoru read the notice on her way past and said nothing.
Nana read it and was quiet in a way that lasted slightly longer than usual.
Everyone came at seven. Saki had her notebook open to a fresh page. The heading read: Vows — structural questions. Below it, she had prepared four bullet points: individual or collective, spoken or written, public or private exchange, length and content parameters.
She looked at the room.
