The girl that sleeps beneath the cherry blossoms, hm...

Lady Yuyuko? Lady Yuyuko? Ah, there you are. What brings you to the storeroom?

Oh, I was just doing some reading to pass the time.

What kind of reading?

Do you remember what I asked you to look up this past summer? Ways to make unblooming cherry blossoms bloom? I think I want to make a cherry tree bloom.

I see. This is all very sudden.

The Saigyo Ayakashi, the most distinctive and beautiful cherry tree in all of my gardens. In all of my time in the White Jade Belvedere, I've never once seen it bloom.

Yes, so you've mentioned. That's why it's referred to as an unblooming cherry blossom. I must admit, I find it surprising to see you show an interest in the same thing twice.

Are you insinuating that I'm forgetful?

You kind of are. So, did you find anything new? I hit the books hard over the summer doing research, but I never found any promising leads.

Yes, that's the problem. Just once, I wanted to see a full bloom I've never seen before... And spring is nearly upon us. Oh, dear!

Didn't you say that the answer could come naturally with the changing of the seasons?

Oh, did I?

Yes, you did. You don't remember?

Not a bit. That was forever ago! But it does sound like a very 'me' thing to say, if I do say so myself. Perhaps if...

...

Lady Yuyuko?

Oh, I just had a delightful idea.

Define delightful.

Youmu? Let's gather spring, shall we?
