In the verdant forest, a figure in a red cloak stands out. It's Mikan, her lavender hair catching the sunlight as she moves gracefully among the flowers. Her basket, usually filled with fruits and medical supplies, is now slowly filling up with a colorful array of flowers. She's picking these for her friends, Ibuki Mioda and Chiaki Nanami. Each flower is chosen with a specific person in mind. The vibrant, energetic blooms for Ibuki, mirroring her lively personality. The calm, soothing ones for Chiaki, symbolizing her serene nature.

A special flower is saved for Ibuki, the one who makes Mikan's heart flutter. As she places the flower carefully in her basket, her cheeks turn a soft pink, her feelings for Ibuki reflected in the delicate petals. The forest seems to share in her joy, the birds chirping melodiously, their songs harmonizing with the rustling of the leaves. The wind whispers through the trees, carrying the sweet scent of the flowers she has picked. The sunlight filters through the canopy, highlighting the vibrant colors of her basket of flowers.

Suddenly, she spots it - a lone rose standing tall amidst the undergrowth. Its petals are a deep, rich red, the same color as her cloak. The rose, with its symbol of love and passion, is perfect for Ibuki. Mikan carefully cuts the stem, taking care not to prick her fingers on the thorns. As she places the rose in her basket, she can’t help but imagine Ibuki’s reaction. She knows Ibuki loves surprises and can almost hear her delighted laughter. With a smile on her face, Mikan continues her flower-picking, her heart filled with anticipation and joy.

Mikan: "Humming" Mikan hums to herself.
