Rose POV
Coughing blood, petals... where have i heard of this before-
~~~flashback~~~
D: hanahaki disease would be a PERFECT makeup look for Halloween Daff, i could totally do it for you
Daff: i don't know dasiy, you know i don't really do halloween
D: yeah well it'd be fun
V: it doesn't sound fun
I walk in after a long day at work
R: what doesn't sound fun?
D: oh hey daisy! hanahaki disease, and of course it doesn't SOUND fun but this is makeup not the real thing
R: what is that?
V: a anime trope
R: oh, of course, daisy would know about that then
D: basically if someone falls in love like deep love, even if they don't realize it... and the person they love doesn't have the same feelings, flowers grow in their lungs till they die
Daff: well, I'm good, i don't do halloween like i said
D: darn it >:/
R: and this is real?
D: oh yeah but only a few people actually die from it every year... imagine how sad that'd be? dying because someone who you love doesn't love you back? even then it's pretty rare, normal the victim has to have already been thru trauma or something it's iffy yanno?
~~~end of flashback~~~
R: that would mean... she loves someone... oh God
I quickly look up everything about the disease... okay, so the flowers will either be the favorite flower or color of said person. Or a flower... they're named after... but this isn't...
R: *sigh* i s-should've known, the chances of her... i have no time for this
It doesn't matter if she doesn't like me...
R: *tears up*
I need to help her... i can't let her die... what flower is this-
*knock knock*
Alan: hey rose... sorry did i come at a bad time?
R: n-no no... w-what is it?
Alan: Gabrielle wanted me to give you this
They hand me some documents
R: oh... *clears throat* thank you
Alan: no problem...
As they're leaving they stop and look at the flower i picked up at the garden to compare to the petal, it was the closest match
Alan: *gasp* i didn't know pollyannas were in season
R: I'm sorry what?
I get up, walk up to them, grab the flower and look up at them
R: you know what type of flower this is?
Alan: *blushes* w-w-well y-yeah... *gulp* w-why?
R: what do you know about this flower?
I realize I'm practically pinning them to the wall and back away a lil
R: sorry... but what do you know
They rub the back of their neck with one hand and pretend to fix their hair with the other... they're blushing hard i shouldn't have done that
Alan: n-not much um... it's a Pollyanna, a yellow one at that... i only got excited cause...
R: why?
Alan: i-it's my favorite flower
God Lord-
Alan: why?
R: we need to talk
Alan: l-like now? j-just us?
R: yes. now. sit.
They sit down without hesitation

I: well that'd be good, right?
H: well yeah... it's just a lot to think about... i mean i could've been infected...
Irene puts a finger under my chin and makes me look at her
I: but you didn't
H: i know... but what if it happens?
I: then we'll figure it out, what are you gonna do? throw your detachable head and arms at people?
