Akira could not understand the intentions of the man who called himself Cherry Blossom. However, she decided there was no harm in satisfying her scientific curiosity. If she could learn something new, perhaps the day would not feel wasted.
"I am a little interested in the method used to delay the flowering season of the trees. These plants have a stringent flowering pattern, and with climate change, they are flowering earlier each year than ever." She said.
Cherry Blossom's eyes shone with an attentive glow. He never found anyone with a keen interest in flowers or botany. Most women who talked about flowers were only interested in their beautiful colours or conferred floral meaning.
He liked it when his flowers were admired for their beauty, but no one ever asked how he did it. The curiosity made him happy.
His fascination with the girl increased.
