first bloom | voice;

[princelyrose]

People have been telling me that I've been here before, but I can't seem to remember. I don't know how I lost my memories - the scientists, maybe? - and I'm sorry that I forgot, but if you could tell me who you are, I'd like to try and meet you again.

[A little less serious, she tries to smile.]You know, I'd think I'd remember being in a place

Utena! When did you get- You have been here before! Welcome back...I'm sorry you don't remember it. We have your spot on the memory wall, with your name, from when you used to stay in the annex rowhouse.

The greenhouse is a good sign, and Yorda works on it very hard.

[princelyrose]

You're...Prydain, right? You're in Gohl too. Himemiya told me that we used to live there.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Himemiya's mentioned her. I'm glad she's taken care of it; the greenhouse is so pretty.

[not_riku_thx]

Oh! So you've been told about me. Yeah, you were part of Gohl. You would practice with Umi...she's our other house fencer.

She does her best. It's starting to get warmer, so we'll probably start taking some of the plants outside soon, and then the apple tree'll bloom again.

[princelyrose]

Yeah. Himemiya's told me what I need to know. I still don't know how she remembers and I don't, though. Umi? What does she look like? I might have seen her.

You have an apple tree up there too?

[pimpslaprose]

You were here before, Tenjou?

[princelyrose]

That's what people have told me. Himemiya too; she remembers and I don't.

[pimpslaprose]

That doesn't surprise me.

[princelyrose]

[Are you being cryptic again, Saionji? Are you?]

Why's that?

[stopwatchrose]

I think the greenhouse is thriving because Himemiya-san spent so much time taking care of it when she was here last time. But, you know what they say -- if plants can live than so can humans.

There's a piano? In this city?

[princelyrose]

I think so too. If there can be plants, then people can live here just as well.

Yeah, I was surprised too! It's in good shape, I think. Sunao met me when I was last here. He was hoping someone could play it and tune it so it wouldn't go to waste.

[stopwatchrose]

Do you know if there are roses? I'd really like to see them if there are.

I wouldn't mind tuning it. It's not that hard to do, really. Then Sunao-san doesn't know how to play?

[princelyrose]

Yeah, there are. Himemiya takes care of them, like she did back home.

I'm not sure. Probably not, if he thought it'd go to waste. You should talk to him about it. Oh! And some girl was playing the piano too, I think, a few days ago.

[mybffrika]

Auu, I r-remember when I first got here, the same thing happened to me! It was very confusing...

[Voice]

[princelyrose]

Yeah, it's pretty odd. But I'm getting used to it, I guess.

How long ago did you arrive here?

[Voice]

[mybffrika]

About... Ten or eleven months, I think. It's really easy to lose track, auu...

[Voice]

[princelyrose]

You sound so young. I can't believe they'd bring you to a place like this for so long.

[mizu_isei]

It isn't your fault that you don't remember...

[princelyrose]

No...but I wish I did. Friends don't forget other friends.

[mizu_isei]

All you can do is try to know those people again, if you want to.

[princelyrose]

That's true, and that's exactly what I'm going to do.
