[It's certainly understandable that Asher wants to escape flowers and green things at some point in his life; Haruka is quite possibly the problematic opposite, given that he occasionally does a delivery or two at the selfsame florist. He doesn't actually expect everyone to dedicate themselves to plants the way he does, though. That would just be silly.

He reaches out with one foot to nudge the flowerboards out of the path. No sense in having the next person actually trip over them. There's enough hazards in here without that.]

I think this year is even busier than other years.

[Though he's not entirely sure why. This year feels different, quite apart from the fact that his phone has been acting up (and his himself has been acting up in tandem with his phone, but that's neither here nor there), and centennials notwithstanding. Everything feels a little off-kilter, like most of Eddan has been moved about five millimeters to the left.

It's not something he's really bothered to think through or bring up, though, especially not with those he knows offline.]

We're adding a butterfly exhibit, too...
