Flurries of delicately bloomed flower-bursts synchronize with the wind in a gentle serenade and clusters of pink flora shower the streets like dazzling glitter. The air is filled with aromatic delicacies fresh out of their ovens. The mouth-watering fragrances are compelling enough to pull the walkways’ passerby's in, tempting them with wondrous flavors that could make anyone feel like they’ve stepped into another world with a single bite. Free-spirited chatting harmonizes with the liberated laughter of the bustling crowd swarming the pathways of Linkon City, Spring mirroring the peoples blooming anticipation of Summer’s fated arrival.
The sun is at its peak in the sky and your gaze trails a distant airplane gliding along the oceanic expanse of blue up above. As you watch the aircraft, a contrail slicing through the otherwise clear sky, your gaze is soon interrupted by the particularly captivating flutter of a petal as it passes by your face and dusts your cheek like a kiss from a fleeting Spring. Eyes fixed on the curious blossom as it strays from the others, you offer a soft gust of your breath as it circles; spiraling and fluttering seemingly without a care before it finds itself perfectly stuck within Xavier's silver tufts.
‘These flowers look truly spectacular.’
In a tone clearly mesmerized by the captivating scenery, Xavier’s voice from a distant flashback -a previous Spring- echoes through your mind, the surrounding peach blossom trees overlapping the silhouette of the ones from your memory. That simple blink of deja vu overwhelms you and just as it had done back then, your heart pangs in your chest with adoration for the man at your side. The sound of your steadily synchronized footsteps continue to match the ones from your memory, and even down to the little petal that had planted itself in Xavier's hair similarly to now, it's almost as if you'd jumped back in time to one of your fondest moments with Xavier.
‘Even though I saw the flowers bloom countless times before…’
