    Summary

    In 1920s New Orleans, (Y/N)-a gentle florist with a doe's quiet grace-opens a shop on Royal Street, offering beauty by day and secret salvation by night. Beneath her soft exterior lies a survivor's resolve, shaped by an abusive past and the forbidden knowledge of dangerous flora. As her reputation blossoms, she draws the attention of rising radio star Alastor, whose curiosity for the unusual leads him to her door. What begins as lively interviews and late-night conversations deepens into an unspoken bond-one the town mistakes for courtship. But shadows from her past return in the form of a cold, clinical watcher obsessed with her "purity." When he threatens her life, she kills him in self-defense, a second sin that seals her fate. Years later, Alastor dies on a hunting trip, leaving her adrift. A decade after his death, a fire consumes her shop and home as she sleeps. Her human life ends in smoke and petals-only for her soul to awaken in Hell, where a familiar smile waits.
