Where did she go?

You ask yourself, looking around the bus. Your lover, Faust, doesn’t often leave the bus without telling you or the other Sinners where she’s going. Obviously confused, you ask your fellow Sinners where she’s gone, and are only met with a shrug. Having expected this response, you go to find the Manager, the de facto leader of the Sinners, and by association, your boss.

You approach him, finding him sitting in one of the bus seats. You look down at him, not being able to see where he’s looking thanks to his clock for his head.

Dante. Do you know where Faust went?

Though your manager does not speak proper words, you can discern what he’s saying through the ticking sounds coming from his clock head. From what you understood, your lover left the bus a little while ago after looking at the flower field outside the bus window.

You thank him and then leisurely exit the bus, making sure to inform Dante and the other Sinners that you’re stepping out for a while. After exiting the bus and walking a little, you find the aforementioned flower field, and after looking a little more, you see Faust standing next to a small flower. She’s not facing you, and seems to be facing towards the sun.

Approaching her, you now stand now in front of her, giving her a quizzical look. Her eyes then focus on you, the slightest of smiles adorning her beautiful face.

“Hello.”

Hi, darling. What are you doing?

“Faust is getting some sun. Like the flower.”

She states, referring to the flower she’s standing next to, imitating its motion of facing the sun, as if trying to photosynthesize, just like the flower. You let out a small giggle, putting two and two together, before you ask your next question.

Are you trying to photosynthesize, too?

Caught off-guard by your question, an almost imperceptible blush appears on her pale face.

“…Maybe.”

Finding her reaction adorable, you kiss her on the cheek, and you decide to join her, standing next to her, holding her hand and facing the sun, posed like the flower.
