Flowers of Heaven 2: avante en garde
There's a snap in the air like the fluttering of a banner in the wind, and then the heavy sound of some large animal breathing.
Gathering around you, though, are creatures that more resemble the idea of animals: lions, wolves, gryphons, unicorns, and stags with stunted bodies, gaping mouths, and rearing poses—like nothing so much as... heraldry. Indeed, upon closer inspection, their bodies seem to be made of stitched brocade. Nevertheless, they bow their heads to you, solemn and respectful, and nudge at you with their heads, paws, and horns, guiding you toward 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 path beneath you is partially-paved with ancient-looking stones, and in the distance, from no identifiable direction, is the faint, steady sound of a drum.
It seems the herald-creatures are carrying some things for you: a collection of sixteen different flowers, and a small lantern of blue flame, and a wreath woven from vervain, star of bethlehem, and chamomile.

Thank you for thinking so. ♪
At the very least, I try to act nobly. Your own seem as though you have a number of struggles though.

But I do know what they're getting at at least

But I don't want any of you to get hurt

Maybe we can guess what their flowers would be

. . . I didn't see my cousin or Persicaria-san. My hope is that means they will have escaped this entirely, then.
I would like to avoid various members of sensitIV, and I do believe most our unit feels that way too. So it may benefit us to think of ones to avoid that might strike them down.
Naturally, we shall want to avoid Hurricane-san from upon Heart Soldier, too.
