What happens when a flower chooses not to bloom?
She was once a Seed, planted by the Fifth Sector to grow into the perfect player who would control and destroy teams from within.
But when she saw the joy Raimon's players felt while playing soccer-the laughter, the freedom, the passion-she chose to wither instead of bloom.
Not because she couldn't grow.
But because she was afraid that if she did, she would be caged again.
Now living quietly as a member of the Gardening Club, Hanako spends her days tending flowers and watching from afar as the Raimon soccer team struggles against the system she once belonged to.
Yet the more she watches them fight, the more the seed she tried to bury inside herself begins to stir.
Because some flowers, no matter how hard they try, were never meant to stay buried.
