Momoe moved along the various flowers, carefully tending to each one.

She was careful to prune the red rose, making sure she steered clear of its thorns.

She pinched an extra dose of plant food to the gentian, making sure it stayed strong.

She gave the freesia a bit more water, to satisfy its growing thirst.

She turned the cattleya toward the sun, making sure it could see the brighter day.

Momoe was constantly keeping watch over the flowers in her care.

She hoped that one day they would blossom to their true potential, outside of the flower shop’s walls.

Momoe carefully trims the bonsai, reflecting on its beauty for a moment. She softly touches its leaves and closes her eyes.

The bonsai, its roots were never planted in the earth. In container and soil, it is part of nature yet separate.

In this way, it makes her think of Schwarz.

She cannot personally care for those young men like she does Weiss.

It is fitting that she chooses to allow this tree to grow into an informal upright position.

It will grow and stand strong, in its own special way.

An Oracle tells her so and Momoe-san believes him.
