Oh, yes, chocolate is the most popular to give away for confessions! But there's all sorts of cute Valentine's themed candies you can find around that time of the year, too.

[outdistanced]

They're themed, too?

[ glances around ]

...Okay, so maybe this one isn't related. I don't see any hearts or anything like that.

[cupidsammo]

Hahah, yeah—Valentine's is all about celebrating love! But general candy shops are pretty bright.

[outdistanced]

I guess it has to be, with all the stuff they'd have.

...Is that stuff candy, too? It looks like everything else is.

[ points at the cotton candy tree tops. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ Koharu cranes her head upwards. ]

It... looks fluffier than trees normally are.

[outdistanced]

Yeah... They're not usually pink, either.

[ guy who has never seen flowering trees in full bloom ]

[cupidsammo]

[ Actually yeah, she sideeyes him for that. ]

What? There's trees that bloom pink.

[outdistanced]

There are?

[ genuinely news to him hello ]

[cupidsammo]

Yeah!

[ She points to the center of her halo. ]

This is a sakura blossom—every spring, all the trees bloom with these.

[outdistanced]

[ curious vibes! it's a little cute, too, he supposes. ]

Never heard of it. Maybe they don't have those in Seattle - I've only seen the trees change colors in fall.

[cupidsammo]

Then maybe not... They're super popular back home in Japan—every spring, it's a huge event to go and see them.

[outdistanced]

Man, there are a lot of you from Japan.

[ I CAN SAY THIS I'M NOT PLAYING AN ANIME FOR ONCE. ]

Why's it such a big deal if it happens every year?

[cupidsammo]

I know...

[ IT'S FINE ]

It only happens once a year, and they don't last very long. It's like... a holiday, or a birthday!

[outdistanced]

Oh. Just another reason for people to celebrate, huh?

[cupidsammo]

If you saw it, you'd understand! I think it's one of the most beautiful moments you could experience.

[outdistanced]

Then maybe you should show me sometime. We've got that cave, may as well use it.

[ as for now... ]

These trees don't really look like they're flowering, though.

[cupidsammo]

[ ... !!! an excellent idea she files away for later ]

No, they look more fluffy than anything.

[outdistanced]

What kind of tree is fluffy, anyway?

[cupidsammo]

There could be one...

Too bad I'm not tall enough to get a closer look.

[outdistanced]

Maybe if you really could fly...

[ shrugs. ]

Oh well. There's plenty of other weird things to check out.

[cupidsammo]

Well, you can't teleport either.

[ so there... ]

Let's see what's ahead.

[outdistanced]

[ he wasn't even being mean about it wow ]

I wouldn't be teleporting into midair, anyway. I'd step out of the portal and drop like a rock.

[ peering with curiosity at all the new stuff... ]

Why does it all look like different kinds of candy?

[cupidsammo]

[ ... sniffs at the air ]

It smells like it is too, right?

[outdistanced]

[ ... also sniffs the air. ]

Kind of, yeah. Sweet.

[cupidsammo]

More like very... Wonder where it's coming from.
