🌸 “Did you just notice that?”
💧 “……Yes.”
🌸 “You were looking at it from far away, weren’t you?”
💧 “It looked like one big cluster of flowers.”
🌸 “If you come closer, you can see them one by one.”

Aqua moved a little closer.

💧 “You’re right.”
🌸 “See?”
💧“Do they all talk it over and bloom like this?”
🌸“Talk it over?”
💧“Like, ‘Let’s all meet here today!’ or something.”

💧“Then why are they all gathered together?”
🌸“They just bloomed one by one, and this is how it turned out.”
💧“…….”
🌸 “What?”
💧 “Nothing. I just feel like I’d lose if I stayed silent today.”
🌸 “What are you fighting against?”
💧 “……I’m not fighting against anything.”
🤣🤣🤣

🌸 “Weird water droplets.”
💧 “People tell me that a lot.”
