IzumiIt’s breathtaking~.
HomareA magnificent view, indeed.
AzumaIt’s great they’re in full bloom right now.

TsumugiYes. This is the place, alright…
It hasn’t changed at all since back then.
Hisoka…You’ve been here before?
TsumugiI came here with my grandma when I was a child.
And I wanted to visit this place one more time to take pictures of the peonies.
HisokaThe flowers I saw before were spring peonies. But the ones this time of the year are winter peonies called tree peonies.
TasukuI’m glad you were able to remember.
TsumugiYeah.
Hisoka-kun, it seems you have some special memories attached to these flowers. But these peonies were close to my heart too.
…I totally forgot about them until recently though.
Hisoka…Really?
That has happened to you too?
HomarePerhaps it would be wise to take some pictures before you forget.
TsumugiOh, right.
*click*
There we go.
TasukuAre you sure they’re not blurry?
TsumugiThey’re alright… I think. How do they look to you?
TasukuI’ll give them a pass.
Should I take the pictures?
TsumugiNo, it’s okay. It’s meaningful for me to take them by myself today, so this is fine.
AzumaIs anything coming back to you, Hisoka?
Hisoka…No.
But recently, whenever I’ve recalled the past, there was always a scent that served as a trigger…
(There’s a faint fragrance… so these are peonies…)
*flashback starts*
(There’s so many flowers on display…
Is this a flower shop…?)

ClerkUp we go—.
HisokaAh…
(One of them fell…
I wonder if I should pick it up…)
(I might get told off again if I touch it…
But it’ll wither and get trampled on if it’s left there…)
Excuse me… this one fell.
ClerkHm? Ahh, you’re right.
Thank you. What a kind child you are.
Hisoka
(Thank God. They didn’t get mad at me…)
ClerkAh, yes. Please wait a moment.
Hisoka?
ClerkHere you go.
This is a present as a thank you for your thoughtfulness.
You can call it a paeonia.
It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
Hisoka(Flowers aren’t edible, so I’m not interested…
Yet…)
…I think it’s pretty.
(It’s pointless to receive something I can’t eat…
But, it’s strange. I feel so happy, I’m about to cry…)
*flashback ends*
IzumiAre you okay, Hisoka-san?
TasukuWouldn’t it be better for him to rest on that bench over there?
GuyShall we carry him?
Hisoka…No, I’m alright.
…I remembered.
A memory of peonies.
…When I was little, the very first flower someone gave me was a peony.
I never thought that I would receive a flower, so I pretended I wasn’t interested when they handed it to me…
To me, that was one of my most precious memories that I never wanted to forget…
So why in the world did that happen?
TsumugiSometimes, even I forget times that were happy.
I only recently remembered that Flower Park was the place I visited with my grandma.
You’re not the only one, Hisoka-kun. We’re only human, so it’s natural to forget both good times and bad.
TauskuI barely remember my childhood either. That’s the way it is.
GuyJust like you, Mikage, I am sure there are still things from my past that still lay forgotten. I understand how you feel.
AzumaHuman memories are fickle things, aren’t they?
You can’t recall them clearly forever.
I have had times when I’ve felt lonesome about forgetting too.
HomareThat is why I think they can be preserved by reminiscing from time to time on how things were in the past.
IzumiEven if, let’s say, you do forget, then I’m sure all of your memories are just sleeping inside of you Hisoka-kun.
Just like how August-san certainly existed, the time we’ve spent together will never disappear.
Besides, right now, you have loved ones you can share all your memories with. That’s why there’s no need to be afraid.
HisokaI see…
(…I’m not alone now.
Even if I do forget, I’m sure that someone—everyone will remember…)
TsumugiI also felt a little taken aback when my grandma forgot that we came here before.
Earlier, I said that it’s natural to forget things since we’re only human. But that was self-serving of me, wasn’t it…
Hisoka…That’s proof that you care about your grandma, Tsumugi.
TsumugiI appreciate it, Hisoka-kun.
The reason I was able to recall my memories of Flower Park was because of a souvenir bookmark I gave to Tasuku.
When I laid eyes on that bookmark, this exact view came back to my mind.
It would be best to preserve your precious memories in a tangible form so you won’t forget them, wouldn’t it?
AzumaMake the memories you don’t want to forget, tangible… that’s a wonderful idea.
HomareThen let us preserve today in a tangible form as a reminder. Hisoka-kun, you’re in the charge of the camera.
HisokaWhy…
HomareI wish to capture this moment right now on film.
Hisoka…What a pain. You can do it yourself.
HomareYou won’t budge, will you?
I ask you then, Guy-san.
GuyI do not mind.
Hisoka…Ah, I’ve decided what I want to do for our next play.
HomareRight now!?
I was going to record a VLOG.
IzumiWhat do you have in mind?
HisokaI want to use flowers.
GuyFlowers? That is certainly a motif we have not done before.
IzumiThat sounds great. If it’s Winter troupe, then I’m sure the play will end up having a different vibe from Summer troupe’s “Prince in Full Bloom”.
“Actors are flowers”, after all.
HomareI think that theme is perfect for Hisoka-kun to show his family what a fine actor he’s become.
Hisoka…Also, I have a request for Tsumugi.
TsumugiA request?
Hisoka…But I feel kind of tired from reminiscing about the past. I’m sleepy.
TasukuHey, don’t just fall asleep.
And he’s out like a light like always.
*dream starts*
*blink, blink*
Hisoka…Huh?

*blink, blink*
(It’s the market I used wander around all time when I was young…
But the one here is present me.)
(And the kid in front of me… is me when I was young.)
Young Hisoka…Who are you?
Sunny Blanc 8-4.png
Hisoka…You don’t need to know, trust me.
Young Hisoka…Hmm.
Hisoka…Are you lonely by yourself?
Young HisokaNot really…
Hisoka…I’ll give this to you.
Young Hisoka…What’s this?
Hisoka…A paeonia.
I was overjoyed when I got one of these in the past.
Young HisokaWhy are you giving one to me…?
Sunny Blanc 8-5.png
Hisoka…I thought it’d be nice if I could cheer you up with this flower.
Young Hisoka
Hisoka…It’s going to be alright.
Your time alone will come to an end, I know it.
(And after that, so many precious memories are waiting for you.)
So, for now, keep living…
