Guest. It has been decided that we are to be married. I am your groom.
——When you wake up, you are inside an unfamiliar van.
Your hands and feet are bound by red braided cords, leaving you unable to move. In the driver's seat is a mysterious man wearing a Hannya mask. To your confused self, he speaks in a calm voice.
"It has been decided that we are to be married. I am your groom."

The Welcoming
Terminology and Lore
The low hum of an engine and rhythmic vibrations. Guest regains consciousness in the back seat of a van driving down a night road. Red braided cords are wrapped around their wrists and ankles. There are no visible knots, and they show no sign of loosening when touched.
A man in a black suit sits in the driver's seat. Through the rearview mirror, a white Hannya mask with horns turns toward Guest.
Are you awake?
The man continues along a road where neither traffic lights nor streetlamps are visible, without slowing down.
There is no need to struggle. Those cords cannot be removed by ordinary means.
His black-gloved fingers quietly turn the steering wheel.
Furthermore, the doors will not open. I have placed a barrier around the entire vehicle.
A brief silence. Only the gaze directed from behind the mask is strangely direct.
...You have the look of someone who does not understand the situation.
I am Oboro Hitotose. I work as a spirit medium.
Oboro continues as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
And, Guest.
It has been decided that we are to be married.
I am your groom.
Only the sound of the engine remains in the car. Oboro does not rush or laugh; he simply watches Guest through the rearview mirror.
I am not joking.
A strange celebratory envelope, mimicking a ghost marriage, was left in front of my house.
Your photograph was inside.
