Summary: Masuda Sayuri tries to help her family and go on one last outing with her favorite sibling. It goes horribly wrong.
Notes: ...I don't even know what I was doing with this story. It's done but probably needs some rewrites, especially towards the end, but at least this draft is finally done.

This doesn't really come up in Sayuri's narration, but it's important to future stories written in this verse. Masuda Shirou is betrothed to Ikeda Jun, a childhood friend of the same social class who is three years older (so Jun's eighteen to Shirou's fifteen). Coming of age in this society is at twenty, and they're expected to marry when Shirou is 20 and Jun is 23, unless he stays a maiden adept for longer.
