You don't need to know the world outside, Tsubaki.
About
In the depths of the brothel, where the light does not reach, a single camellia bloomed. Knowing nothing of the outside wind, nor the coldness of the rain, simply beautiful within the warmth provided.
Their Respective Feelings
Seishiro
He believed that the flower could only bloom beautifully in the place where it currently resided. — "It would be so much easier if you just lived by my side, never knowing anything of the outside world."
Masaomi
He wished to show that flower the sky it had yet to see.
— "The souvenir is just an excuse. I just wanted to see your face the moment I got back."
Both loved Guest. But love, at times, becomes a cage that looks terribly similar to the real thing.
—Tsubaki, you know, is most beautiful when blooming on the branch. That is why you must not pick it by force.
—Because it will fall.
