Xiao had been tasked with guarding a lavender rose. He didn't know why. One day he saw the door open. He decided to go inside the room so that he could check if anyone had snuck in, though it'd be practically impossible to sneak past a yaksha.
He glanced at the flower in the middle of the room, it seemed.. off.
After a moment, he witnessed the flower grow and grow until it started to change. It transformed into a girl, the petals on it forming a lovely dress.
"..." The flower was you.
