What was that?
Yukiko Sasaki
It means, 'Thirteen silver hairpins three broken spider webs'; it's a spell.

Everyone's inconsistent. Everyone but God. Life is absurd. We're not all perfect. As a scholar said, "The sum total of inconsistencies is life."

Someone as beautiful as you shouldn't go to some strange man. It'd be such a waste.

Don't rush it. Marriage isn't as great as you may think. If all young women rushed off to get married, the world would be a lonely place. Romance is good from time to time.

Girls are born if the father is stronger. And boys are born if the mother is stronger. I wonder?

Kiyoko Hirayama
Remember during the war when the enemy planes would come, we would rush to the shelters? Setsuuko had just started elementary school. Hisako could barely walk. The four of us huddled in the dark. Remember how we thought if we had died at least we'd be together?
Wataru Hirayama
Yes, I do remember.
Kiyoko Hirayama
I didn't like the war, but I reminisce about those times. Don't you?
Wataru Hirayama
Not really. I hated those times. We had nothing. There were a lot of stupid people strutting around.
Kiyoko Hirayama
But I liked it. We were together as a family then.

It's difficult, isn't it? Raising children, that is. Eventually, parents have to give in. Things never go smoothly.

Don't worry about your mother. Just get married. She'll do just fine, even without you.
Yukiko Sasaki
That's very strange.
Wataru Hirayama
Why?
Yukiko Sasaki
You once told me not to get married.
Wataru Hirayama
Did I say that?
Yukiko Sasaki
Something about gold and brass.
Wataru Hirayama
I remember now. But it's up to you to turn that brass into gold. That's how a married couple should be.

Setsuko. Surely you...
Setsuko Hirayama
What is it?
Wataru Hirayama
Surely you haven't slept with this fellow?
Setsuko Hirayama
Father. You should know me better than that. He isn't that kind of a man.

Wataru Hirayama
From what I hear, the bride and groom have been infatuated with each other. I've had the pleasure to hear about her relationship, not that I had much of a choice. Her stories reflected the affection they had for each other. Even at my age, I couldn't help but reflect on my younger days, although that was such a long time ago. Comparatively, my own marriage was a much more pragmatic and routine one. My wife would agree as well. That our marriage was not one based on infatuation. We just followed the path that our parents arranged for us. In that respect, the newlyweds are truly fortunate to have this opportunity and I can't help but envy them. Please continue to be happy together, not that you really need to work hard at that. I hope you let us know how much your love grows with each passing year. Become our role models for years to come and let us envy you even more.

Is it an auspicious day? A lot of newlyweds today.

But there aren't too many pretty brides.

Did you see the one who took the 3:15?
Station Attendant
The chubby one? She's the best we've seen so far today.

There's a storm warning out, you know.

Look, another bride.

Too skinny, if you ask me.

Let me tell you, it was terrible. They sent electricity through wires on my hands and feet. Then blue ink was injected right here in my arm. Oh, and when they inject that blue ink, your urine turns blue too. It was awful.
