[ He has in fact been here before, and it's disorienting for a moment. But as he's looking around, he notices the flowers. ]

Hmmm....

[ He goes to touch a wild rose delicately. ]

You are different—something that has never fit in. But has anyone here in this new Familia really fit in? You wouldn't be Familia BAD END if you had.

So why is that now you feel.... longing?

There's still that distance between you and them, after all—and for the first time, you have reason to wonder at what you have been missing…

On closer inspection, you can see places where the roses have recently ripped through upholstery and even overturned a table lamp in what must have been an explosion of new growth. For all their proliferation, these are new plants.

But hey, they're rather lovely.

[ "Lovely" isn't the word he'd associate, not with that feeling attached to it. What happens if he tries to rip one out? ]

Well, it's covered in thorns, so it does kind of hurt to grip it, admittedly. Of course, you've had way worse than some thorns pricking you by now.

As you pull, you you realize you can recognize them more fully: Wild Rose, Key of Something Different.
Caring about "difference" at all, though... that's the sort of thing you can only feel if your difference matters; if it is part of the story of you finding your place in the world.

These are pretty large rosebushes, though, so it'll take more than just one swift tug to actually rip out the whole plant.

[ It does hurt, but he can handle that hurt. He's going to stop for now though, and look to see if he can tell where in the room the growth seems to be starting. ]

They're... kind of all over the place, actually? Like the lotuses, there's definitely more than just plant.

But they do seem somewhat denser coming from the hallway that leads to everyone's bedrooms.

[ Well then, let's head to the hallway! ]

There are a lot more bedrooms than you remember, actually.
