[The Love Songs music has been playing in Mami's head for hours now, the effects taking hold before she realized what was happening. All she knew was that, suddenly, she felt warm - happy in a longing sort of way she had never let herself be before. The innocent desire to be near another, to make them smile, swelled up in her heart and just never bled out. And for once, Mami wasn't of a mind to shelve the feeling. She's familiar enough with the ache of loneliness, but this is different.
This isn't sad at all.
So at various places around the Gardens, Mami can be found with a huge smile on her face and a large picnic basket in tow. It's full of sweets the birds helped her make, and Mami's looking for someone (or many someones) to share them with. Anyone she sees can be expected to be approached.]
Ah, excuse me! Do you have a moment?
[She doesn't even notice the sound now, really - it's become background noise, a song she unconsciously obeys. It's tapped into a part of herself she's tried so hard to bury for good and has only recently begun to allow to the surface - the need for company, to like and be liked, and so the habitual aloofness she still struggles to shed has been melted away.
At least, for now.]
