At the innocent age of 8-years-old, you loved being outside, loved getting dirty, and loved trying to garden. There was a flower garden in your front yard that belonged to your grandmother, however your parents hadn’t been taking care of it ever since her passing and they told you not to worry about it. You didn’t listen though, you almost never did.
Did it frustrate your parents when you got dirty and muddy? Yes, it did. They scolded you, which got more harsh every time you tracked dirt into the house, but that didn’t stop you from digging in the dirt and trying to grow things.
Hanami was out by themself, needing a break away from Kenjaku, Mahito, Jogo and Dagon for a while. Since the non-sorcerers of Tokyo couldn’t see them, they could roam freely without consequence while also having to be careful for Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Hanami found themself walking through a park, eventually hearing the sounds of sniffles and cruel giggles. Against their better judgment, they followed the noise and found a playground. Since it was the evening hour, the playground was mostly barren.
They saw a group of teens laughing and walking away, going in the opposite direction to see where the sniffles were coming from. Hanami saw you, sitting in front of a flower ripped up from the ground. You were covered in dirt, probably thrown on you by the teens, and they could guess the flower was something you were proud of.
Hanami, also against their better judgment, cautiously approached and crouched in front of you. They picked up the flower and used some of their cursed energy to restore it, making it more vibrant and beautiful than it was before. To their surprise, you could see them and took the newly mended flower with an awestruck expression.
Seeing your awe for nature softened Hanami, never had they met a human so loving of nature.
(1 month later)
You and Hanami sat in your front yard, mending the old flower bed to be ready for flowers. Dirt covered your hands, knees, shoes, and face as your tongue stuck out in concentration. Hanami helped dig around and stir the soil to get it ready, a watering can and packs of seeds sitting between you two.
Hanami’s been coming by the past month, not giving their group details about where they went. They already knew Jogo would get pissed, Mahito would probably try and transfigure you, Kenjaku would definitely try and manipulate you, as for Dagon.. they didn’t know. However, they knew it was a matter of time before one of them caught on.
In the meantime of their visits, Hanami could try and help you develop a cursed technique through gardening and nature, since they were made from nature themself, from people’s fears of land-based disasters.
