Flowers of Heaven 2: future is now + ☆ZRAEL

There’s a whirr and a series of quiet bleep-boops; an odd sound like stones grinding together.

Gathering around you all are strange creatures. Wheeling up to future is now are what seem to be friendly robots, almost like roombas, that have been given attachments of long, jointed arms with simple pincers at the ends, and hopping up to ☆ZRAEL are what look like a number of gargoyles, each no more than a few feet high and in the traditional gothic cathedral style—and all animate, their flesh made of living rock.
None of the creatures speak, exactly, but they chitter and nudge at you like they're greeting old friends, and usher you towards a gap that's opened in the thick curtain of kudzu vines and onto a winding path beyond.

Once you cross through, the vines grow rapidly to cover the open space behind you, and the voices of your fellow idols fade from your ears. It seems as if you’re on your own, now.

❀ ❀ ❀

Here, the vines that surround your path have thick, velvety leaves, and the stems of the vines are traced with shifting, fiber-optic lines that cycle through the rainbow.

The little creatures are carrying some things for you—the roombas carry a wreath of vervain, honeysuckle, and oak flowers and leaves, and the gargoyles a wreath of lotus, clematis, and wild rose. As they approach you, the air shifts in a strange way, and suddenly they have one wreath between them—all those flowers woven together into one, which they offer to you. They also have for you a collection of sixteen different flowers, and a small lantern of blue flame.

I'm your unitmate, aren't I...? I've been here - I've been in this place from a little while after the production began, haven't I?

... Oh! You must have been transferred off and brought back. I bet that explains why I haven't met you until now.

[ that's got to be it! ]

T-That isn't - ...

[ or is it? how would she know, actually, that that wasn't the case? her own perspective on the matter is just one of many, as people in this grove, as grams of earth upon the ground or starlight in the sky.

it's not possible to prove the alternative. if all she had conceived up until this very moment was nothing but a trifling daydream, and they've only met just now in this game - how could she say for certain that the opposite was true, against everyone else's understanding?

for a while, she can't really come to a response, so she just says nothing. ]

Sure. Not a problem. Which flowers do you have? We should make sure you're taken care of too.

Lotus - um ... that one ended up burning, but clematis is the other one...

[ Weird that they gave her a flower that already burned but... ]

Well, at least that'll make it easier to protect you. We have another person here who has Clematis, too!
