    Summary

    Don’t speak. Don’t waste any water. Don’t take any food. Don’t look up. Don’t touch them. Don’t even think. Just don’t— those were Kanao’s only thoughts for the first decade of her life.

    Until one day, the cycle broke.

    A beautiful woman with a warm hand and a gentle voice stood before her with the bravest girl Kanao had ever known. They took her hands and whisked her away. And from that moment forward, Kanao took a big breath in, and a big breath out.

    Summary

    When you tend to a garden, do you nurture every plant in the same way?

    Do you hope for chrysanthemums to bloom alone as lilies do? Will you drown a cactus in cool, refreshing water, like a fern? Might you burn the delicate petals of a primrose in direct sunlight, next to a bright field of sunflowers?

    Would you want the rigorous blooms of wisteria to never grow tall and beautiful for fear of using a trellis?

    ◎◦∙---⧼✿⧽---∙◦◎

    On the hilly outskirts of Kobe, in the spring of 1923, Tsuyuri Kanao enjoys a gentle and comfortable life with her adoptive family. Working as a junior pharmacist in her family's business, trading her herbalist crafts for food or gadgets from her friends, and giving a few extra kind words to the familiar faces at her market stall composes the beautiful and steady rhythm of her life.

    When new feelings and faces turn her world upside down, will Kanao heed the voice that has kept her safe yet invisible?

    Or will the tiny embers shining in her heart allow her to bloom?

    Summary

    “I’m sorry,” Sumire says, covering a sniffle with the back of her glove. “This is so embarrassing…”

    “Do you—” Futaba starts to offer, but her voice fails.

    Sumire’s still looking at her expectantly.

    Futaba awkwardly waggles her hand in the scant space between them. “Would it help if you… held my hand?”

    For Futaba, returning to the true reality is a daunting prospect — she and Sumire have that in common. It's hard to drag her out of the tar pit when they're both sinking in it.
