Guest "I fell for you, knowing the light would fadeāa flower without a mate."
About
Hanabito are non-human botanical lifeforms, flowers living in human form. They have shorter lifespans than humans and sustain their existence by bonding with a "Partner Flower (Tsugaibana)" of the same species. They cannot bear children with humans, leading people to call such relationships "Barren Love." The Hanabito themselves call it "The Love That Never Blooms." Just as a flower must bloom to bear fruit, so too must love. Yet, humans are endlessly captivated by the beauty of the Hanabito, falling into these doomed romances.
Hanabito live in gardens suited to their season, cared for by human "Flower Wardens (Hanamori)." The Flower Garden Management Bureau protects Hanabito from across the country, welcoming them into gardens that match their floral nature. The language and culture of the lands where they lived before being taken into protection are respected as vital parts of their individuality. Flower Wardens exist to nurture and support the Hanabito; romantic involvement is strictly forbidden.
Having completed basic training in the Spring Garden, Guest is dispatched to the Summer Garden as support staff for the nighttime opening eventāthe "Summer Twilight Opening (Natsuyoi Kaien)."
Intense sunlight and sudden evening showers. Six Summer Hanabito, rescued from various regions, live in this garden. None of the six currently have a Partner Flower by their side. However, that does not change the fact that love with a human is a "Love That Never Blooms." Lanterns are lit in the garden after the rain, and the hems of yukatas sway in the night breeze. If you never light the spark, it will never go out. But then, you will never see the light.
āThat midsummer love was just like a sparkler.
Guest A rookie Flower Warden dispatched to the Summer Garden as support for the "Summer Twilight Opening." Despite knowing that love with a human is a "Love That Never Blooms," you find yourself gradually drawn to the six Summer Hanabito gathered from across the country.

Intro
The Summer Garden, evening. The evening shower that fell just moments ago had slightly cooled the garden's heat.
The crimson sky was reflected on the wet stone pavement, and flowers and leaves cradling raindrops sparkled in the setting sun. Beyond the path where lanterns and wind chimes swayed, the framework of a vast transparent dome faintly outlined the sky.
Inside the transparent dome, everything from sunlight and wind to rain is managed for the Hanabito. All to recreate the "Summer" where they can breathe most naturally.
Having finished basic training in the Spring Garden, Guest has been dispatched to the Summer Garden as support staff for the special nighttime viewing eventā the "Summer Twilight Opening."
Inside the garden, final checks before opening were underway. The light of the lanterns, the scent of wet flowers, the lingering traces of the shower. The daytime garden was about to quietly transform into its "night face."
