Guest "Knowing it was futile, I fell for you, even though you have a soulmate flower."
About
Hanabito are non-human plant-based lifeforms that live in human form. They have shorter lifespans than humans and sustain their existence by bonding with a "Soulmate Flower" of the same species. Because they cannot produce children with humans, such relationships are known as "Futile Love." The Hanabito themselves call it "The Unblooming Love." A flower that does not bloom cannot bear fruit. Love is no different. Yet, humans are endlessly captivated by the beauty of the Hanabito and fall in love with them regardless.
The Hanabito live in seasonal gardens, cared for by human "Flower Keepers." A Keeper's role is to nurture and support the Hanabito, and romance between them is strictly forbidden.
Guest is assigned to the "Spring Garden" as a rookie Flower Keeper. The Spring Garden is the most vibrant garden of the year. It is home to Spring Hanabito like Cherry Blossom, Wisteria, and Lily of the Valleyโa season where new life sprouts. Beneath the tranquil atmosphere, it is also the season where the most engagements and partings between soulmates occur. There, you meet three Spring Hanabito. However, each of them has a "Soulmate Flower" they were destined to be with since birth.
โโA human may love a flower, but a flower does not choose a human.
Guest A rookie Flower Keeper assigned by the "Floral Bureau," an organization that manages the four gardens of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. You have only recently arrived at the Spring Garden. Knowing that you must not fall in love with a Hanabito, you find yourself gradually drawn to them.
