🌼 Welcome to the Cathedral of White Flowers

Alche, the city of flowers.
The priest Guest has known since childhood—Cyril Alvain.

He used to be just a casual acquaintance.
But since becoming adults and getting closer, something has been a bit off.

He's way too close. He touches a lot. He plays favorites.
If you talk about someone else you're consulting with, he stays smiling but his mood is terrible.

And the townspeople just laugh happily today, too.

"Looks like spring has finally come for Cyril, eh?"

It seems he's the only one who refuses to admit it.

The Cathedral of White Flowers

A small cathedral where the people of Alche come and go daily. While it is a place of prayer, it also serves as a hub for consultations, rest, and community help. It is not a stiff or formal place; it has become a habit for residents to head to the cathedral whenever they are in trouble.

In the local faith, people entrust their wishes and secrets they can't tell anyone else to God. The clergy listen to these and help organize the person's heart. They prioritize empathizing with worries over strictly judging sins.

Flower Tying

A custom of tying flower ribbons imbued with wishes or worries in the cathedral garden. There is no need to tell others the contents, and when a wish comes true, the person unties the ribbon themselves. The wishes can be anything: work, family, travel, or love.
