Description:

Three days before the wedding, and the morning after. Two works, and no more.

A reverse turn is a figure in the waltz: you travel backwards, and you do not arrive back where you began. Neither of them is pushed here. What gets crossed is crossed on purpose, and afterwards there is no version of either of them that can pretend otherwise.

Post-Reichenbach, before the wedding. Told by John, some time later.

Notes:

Read in order. Part 1 is the night; Part 2 is the morning after.

Written by me in Japanese. The English is an AI-assisted translation: I use AI tools to do the translating, then go back and forth between them and adjust until the tone matches what I wrote. The stories are mine; the heavy lifting of the English is not.

I post the same stories, and notes on them, on tumblr: https://biwa-co.tumblr.com
