One Month One World One Year Challenge 2023

"Hey Morgan!" Kiyoshi called, waving Morgan over to their table.
"Wait!" Flora pleaded. "You don't have to do that..."
"She's super cool," Kiyoshi assured her. "Her family owns one of the rental properties here on the mountain, so they spend some time here throughout the year."
Kiyoshi introduced the two, before heading off to hit the slopes with Kaori.

"Cool scar," Morgan said, acknowledging the mark on Flora's cheek that most people had the tact to ignore. "I'd love to know the story behind how you got that."
"So would I," Flora added with a dark chuckle, earning a quizzical look from Morgan, but she brushed it off and asked Flora if she'd go sledding with her.

Girl, get off your phone and notice the way that cute girl is looking at you!

Morgan was easy to talk to. She was honest and a bit blunt, but in the best way. In fact, she was so easy to talk to that Flora found herself opening up about her amnesia and uncertainties. It felt good to be honest, and she felt a tension she hadn't realized she'd been carrying slowly begin to ease up. She had been throttled into this new life with so much fear and panic, but humanity had proven to be so much kinder and patient with her than she had expected.

"Fireflies!" Flora suddenly explained. "I remember catching fireflies as child!" A memory flashed through her mind more quickly than she could grasp it, but she could distinctly remember being a child and watching as the firefly light danced between her fingers.

"I can't remember anything specific, but at least I remembered something."

As they returned to town, they exchanged numbers, hoping to spend more time together before Morgan's vacation ended.

That night, Flora dreamed of the strange and beautiful greenhouse again, but this time, she saw a child as well, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not see their face. She woke up feeling puzzled, trying so hard to grasp onto the memories hiding just out of reach.
