They're pretty.

They're not.

You're just being purposefully difficult.

Don't see why something's got to be pretty, because it's a flower.

I find things that aren't flowers pretty too.

...like what?

voice

[trappedinresin]

...Like how the air clouds up when you breathe and it's cold. And when sunlight hits the snow or water. Even if it's a little too bright...

And...the way a cherry looks on top of a Banana Split Sunday with all of the works before you take your first bite. Or the way when you open up a new jar of peanut butter how smooth the top is.

... I always hate being the first one to use something.

[trappedinresin]

W-Well then don't ask.

What are you doing, anyway?

Paying respects.

You don't. You're playing at it, because it's --- polite. Snap out of it, and say you don't.
