"There's a sakura-viewing party this afternoon" Tenpou says. "Are you going, Konzen?"
"Why?"
Sunlight flashes off Tenpou's glasses as he turns from the window, pools on his shoulders and in his hair. In its brightness, he's only a silhouette. "Well, I suppose to see people, to talk, to escape paperwork. Aren't you bored?"
"No. I meant, why have a party? The flowers aren't going anywhere."
Tenpou shrugs, looks out again. The trees bleed blossoms, but they always do.
Konzen realizes distantly that perhaps he's being rude, but he can't think of a reason to bother attending. “Maybe next time.”
