Hey, Haru!
I just met a guy who said he was from the year 2001.
2001!!!
That's sooo long ago.
It's pretty crazy, isn't it?

hey.

[ off to a great start akira. ]

Hello? Is this Haru?

[The communication comes through a little too loud, unlike its sender's usual tone, but is otherwise pretty normal. He's still getting the hang of this...]

hey.
do you know a lot about flower language?
i figured you would, but. 🌸🌸🌸

hey. you awake?

Haru-san,

Thank you so much for the lovely bouquet. Little do I know about plants, and I had no prior knowledge of the meaning of yellow roses. I suppose I should pay attention to the symbolic meaning of flowers.

I truly hope you enjoy my gift as well.

[ The attachment is a box with handmade confectionery inside. ]

hey.
i know it's late.
but if you're awake can i come over?

Haru-san. I think I might not be the best person to look after Akira after all. Could you please take care of him? I'm truly sorry.

[ This might be sudden, but Hibiki has absolutely no idea what should he do. ]

im sorry

[ In the morning, Hibiki might be spotted near Haru's hut, walking back and forth, clearly thinking about something quite hard. Thankfully, he promised not to use his assassin skills, there was no clause about not being sneaky...so there shouldn't be anything wrong with leaving something inside and running away, right?

He might be either caught red-handed while dropping the paper flowers Hibiki had prepared earlier on the floor, walking out the hut or perhaps even a few hours later after committing the deed. ]

[ assume someone let jude into haru's apartment sometime before the sunsu festival, because there's a gift in a small bag with her name written on it in neat cursive sitting on the table and a note on cute stationary to go along with it.

dear haru,

i made this myself, and i hope it helps keep you warm this winter. thank you for being such a kind, reliable friend. i can't fully express my gratitude, but regardless, i wanted to try when i had a good excuse to.

sincerely,
jude

in the bag is a hand knit, lavender winter hat. the color matches the casual clothes jude has seen haru wearing from time to time, and it's just the right size to fit anyone comfortably.

here's hoping it makes her hair even fluffier! ]

[ This might be a low-frequency world, but nothing's gonna stop Hibiki from sneaking around and leave a gift in front of Haru's door. Inside the box he put there, she'll find a handmade sweater and a tin with cherry blossom tea with a short note attached:

Haru-san, I wish you everything the best. Please accept this gift and have a wonderful holiday.

Thank you.
Hibiki. ]

[Yusuke is giving Haru art. Because Yusuke.

Enjoy a portrait of yourself dressed as Milady, Haru!]

[ There will be a pair of colorful knit covers set down in front of the doorway to Haru's apartment. The covers look big enough to fit on a flower vase.

The note has Sophie's sloppy handwriting on it, with a simple message: "To Haru. From Sophie." ]

[There's a small package outside Haru's doorway wrapped in baby blue paper with small flower designs on them. Inside, she will find a lined notebook with rabbits and clovers in the margins as well as a pen set in different colours. There's a note that reads:

To Haru,

Happy Sunsu!! Hopefully these will be useful for you.]

From Nito Nazuna.

[ It's difficult not to notice the huge metal tree on the first floor of their apartment building. Hibiki walks closer in order to examine it, only to notice the box with the talismans next to the peculiar tree. On top of that, there's someone he knows standing here, putting away a dry pen. ]

Haru-san, hello. [ Hibiki offers a pen, smiling softly at her. It's not like he's carrying a bunch of them at all times. ] Do you know what is this about?

Haru-nee, Haru-nee! Did you see the big tree on the first floor at the apartment?

[Just for good measure there will be quick images of the tree and talismans in question sent to her as well.]

Haru? This is Jay. Are you up to talking right now?
