    With his smooth hand in yours, grip strong and warm, Xavier guided you down the winding path through the great glass dome of the Linkon City Botanical Gardens. The air was thick with the perfume smell of the blooming flowers and damp earth, a comforting difference to the cold winter outside. Gentle sunlight filtered through the glass panels above, casting speckled lights across the greenery.

    "This one here," Xavier said, his voice gentle and warm, is... uh, Angel's Trumpet. You see the way it is shaped? Like an actual trumpet..."

    You glanced down, noticing the informational plaque conveniently positioned right next to the plant. It was clear Xavier was reading off the panels attached to the railings, but the effort was endearing. As he gestured towards the flower, his excitement grew drastically.

    "And this one over here!" he continued, pulling you gently towards a patch of red flowers, his arm wrapped securely around your waist. "Is called a Flame Lily... Legend has it, once the time is right... The flowers will burst into flames." There he goes again, trying to scare you with stories.

    As you strolled deeper into the gardens, the two of you found yourselves surrounded by towering ferns and a canopy of blooming wisteria. The atmosphere was quiet here, save for the faint hum of the ventilation system, and the occasional chirp of a bird hidden within the plants. You felt Xavier's gaze on you, before he spoke.

    "Thank you, for coming here with me {{user}}."
