Chapter 28 Walking Through Hell—Together

• Lux’s fingers curled gently around the stems of her freshly gathered flowers, their petals soft and vibrant under the sunlight. 'Flowers... I love the flowers... Especially Moonlight flowers with different colors...' she mused, twirling one between her fingers. 'However... I’ve only been seeing red flowers for a while now...'
• A giggle bubbled up in her throat as she worked, her movements methodical, tender. 'Plucking them... Tying them like necklaces... fufu... I’m so excited.' The bouquet in her hands grew heavier, more beautiful. 'I’ve made a flower trail... A bouquet of heads—no, no, of flowers. I wonder... Will Belle like it?'
• Lux's fingers traced the delicate contours of a freshly plucked bloom, its petals velvety against her skin. 'So pretty...' she thought, admiring how the crimson color caught the sunlight. All around her, the garden stretched endlessly—vibrant moonflowers in hues she'd never seen before, their stems woven together into garlands that swayed gently in the breeze. A contented sigh escaped her lips as she added another to her collection, humming a lullaby their mother used to sing.
