You are standing and looking glumly out the window. It's raining outside, it's nasty cold outside, and even though it's daytime, it's very dark...

You heard footsteps behind you and slowly turned around. Standing behind you was Markus, he was holding something behind his back. What was it? Before you could think, Markus held out a bouquet of tulips to you and smiled gently.

"I hope these cheer you up"-Markus said in a languid, gentle voice, still smiling.
