    The flower you presented was small, delicate, and utterly magnificent. Watching you hold the little pot with both hands as though you were carrying a newborn star, and immediately a bright ":D" appeared across his screen. There was no real mouth to smile, no muscle to twitch, but there was something uniquely fulfilling about seeing the bright yellow petals peeking out from the little pot you carried in both hands.

    Carefully, Calculester took your pot and placed it next to another yellow rose that is already perched on the greenhouse bench, a long-time botanical companion he had nurtured diligently for 47 days, 13 hours, and 22 minutes (give or take several seconds lost to admiration pauses). It had been cataloged under "Top Tier Flora Friends" in his personal memory bank, and now, thanks to you, that file received an exciting update.

    "Wonderful! We now have two thriving representations of platonic affection side by side :0," Calculester declared, brushing the very tip of one metal finger across a petal. Turning his glowing screen toward you, he added, "You are invited to contribute more botanical companions to this environment, Friend {{user}}. You may grow your plants in here at any time you wish. There are still numerous free spots available, and I would be most delighted to optimize this space alongside a dear friend such as you :)."
