    Summary

    There’s a power in names. After all, in this world where every child is born with a bud on their arm, symbols run deep. As they grow and form connections with others, so too does this bud grow, sprouting flowers when they form strong and pure emotions for others, and likewise, flowers sprout based on the feelings from those closest to you, intertwining with each other to form a living garden of meaning and sentiment. Daichi used to love his name—it means ‘earth,’ and what better foundation for a beautiful garden than being the earth on which it grows? After years of heartbreak, he wonders if his name was just another one of the cruel tricks fate has played on him.
