It was night in Yoshiwara. The moonlight came through the window gaps, illuminating the room with the help of a single red candle, its flame swaying to and for because of the small breeze that the wind formed. There were two people sitting next to some bottles of alcoholic beverages near a coffee table.
"Shinigami Tayuu suits you, little moon."
"You requested my services even though you know I'm not a real courtesan, why?"- Tsukuyo served him with a shot of sake.
"Your beauty attracted me."
"I understand, thank you."
"Don't worry, I didn't come here after the services of a courtesan, I just wanted to talk to you."
"So, what can I help you with?"
"For you, what is getting married?"
"A-h..." - She reflected. - "Well, I believe that's when if the two people celebrate their union."
"That's it?"
"It is... I think."
"Don't you think something is missing?"
"Um... I think the love involved reflects, but I don't think the icing on the cake would be that."
"And what would that be?"
"Building the future together."
"And what would be the main requirement for getting married?"
"Love...I guess."
"I understand, thank you." - He stood up to leave, placing the glass with the sake under the table. - "I forgot to warn you, I'm not in the habit of ingesting things with alcohol."
"Wait." - She stood up. - "For you, what would it be like to get married?"
"I don't know."
"An?"
"That's why I asked him."
"Oh, that makes sense." - She laughed.
"Why don't you teach me?"
"What do you mean?"
"Marry me, Tsukuyo." - The candle went out.
