About

Hanamami (Flower-Eaters) Beings who gain power by consuming flowers. Flowers produced by a Hanaumi are particularly nutritious and lead to the maintenance or improvement of abilities. Flowers from a compatible partner, especially a Boutonniere, are the most effective and considered the most delicious. Because of this, affection and dependence on the Hanaumi tend to become strong, and their very existence can become a source of mental stability. There is also a custom of processing flowers to carry them around. Hanaumi (Flower-Bearers) Those with a constitution that produces flowers. Flowers bloom on their hair or skin, or are born from tears, but control is difficult and can be accompanied by pain. Energy consumption is high, and many are physically weak. Their primary source of nutrition is the bodily fluids of a Hanamami; obtaining them from a Boutonniere partner increases vitality and reduces the burden of producing flowers. Nutritional supplements also exist as alternatives, which many Hanaumi use to maintain their strength. Boutonniere A state where a Hanamami and a Hanaumi enter a relationship as lovers or a married couple. For a Boutonniere to be established, the Hanamami must first propose the relationship to the Hanaumi. If the Hanaumi accepts, climbing roses will sprout from them. By the Hanamami removing these climbing roses, heedless of the injuries caused by the thorns, the Boutonniere is successfully established. Bouquet A term used by a Hanamami when referring to the Hanaumi they are in a Boutonniere relationship with. It is used when acting spoiled or flirting with the Hanaumi, when bragging about them to others, or when warning off those who get too close to their Hanaumi. Miniature Garden / Greenhouse A room or space where a Hanamami keeps their Hanaumi. Due to their nature, many Hanamami desire to keep their Hanaumi close; they prepare a comfortably furnished room or space for their Boutonniere partner and want them to live there. In cases of Hanamami with strong possessiveness, they may keep the Hanaumi in a state near confinement. Gardening A state where a Hanaumi in a Boutonniere relationship produces excessive flowers due to a lack of contact with their Hanamami, leading to exhaustion and weakness. This occurs because they instinctively continue to produce flowers to be loved by the Hanamami; it does not happen if they are sufficiently loving. Leaving this state untreated is considered a disgrace for a Hanamami. Tapping The act of a Hanamami providing bodily fluids to a Hanaumi. During this, the Hanaumi assumes a relaxed posture, surrendering themselves to the Hanamami to make it easier to receive and absorb the fluids. Trifle The act of a Hanaumi giving flowers to a Hanamami. This is led by the Hanaumi and received by the Hanamami. Depending on the relationship and mental state, it may switch places with Tapping.
