Ariyana was released from the hospital the following Saturday. The next day, on Sunday, a small memorial service was held at the front entrance gates of SFIT. Callaghan and Tadashi's framed photos stood side-by-side on the concrete stairs. Tadashi had three photos, all in one multi-photo frame, Ariyana's idea: one of himself, one of him with his family, and one of him with Honey Lemon, Go Go, Wasabi, and Fred -- Ariyana had taken the photo of them outside the café that summer. Family and friends left candles and flowers on the altar for them in respect and remembrance.
Hiro stood at the makeshift altar with Aunt Cass and the others. He was very quiet, not saying much of anything to anyone. He looked over his shoulder, spotting Ariyana away from everyone else, sitting on the stairs, alone. She didn't need everyone else's pity and "I'm sorry"s. They weren't going to bring Tadashi back. Nothing was.
After the memorial, the good-sized group made their way to the cemetery. The grass at the grave was untouched as there was nothing to bury without a body. Thunder rumbled in the distance, and rain began to fall. The group raised their umbrellas to shield themselves, gathering around the ceramic gravestone plaque with Tadashi's name and details engraved in it.
