He looked at me calmly. “Time isn’t a line,” he said. “What is it?” He smiled. “A bloom.” And then he was gone. No doors opened. No windows closed. Just silence where he had stood, and a single bloom petal on my pillow. Weeks passed. The children who’d appeared around the world began gathering. Drawn to bloom-sites. To memory vaults. No one told them to come. No messages were sent. But they came. And when they sang together for the first time—twelve voices aligned in perfect harmonic bloom—a new glyph appeared in the skies above each vault. Visible for three days. Glowing like a constellation that hadn’t existed before.

6 Zac I had texted Bloom during last period to tell her to meet me at my house so she could tutor me. As much as I hated chemistry, studying with Bloom actually made sense. The way she explained things made it easy to understand. She was incredibly patient with me. She wouldn't get frustrated when I got distracted or started messing around. She remained composed when I was having a hard time understanding something. I just—I liked having her tutor me. It was weird. I would have never pictured myself friends with Bloom.

** At the center stands a mausoleum, its doors carved with the spiral-and-thorns. Lira limps behind us, her beauty ruined. "Fools. This is its *sanctum*." The doors open. Inside, the Bloom's true form waits-a fetus of light and thorn, suspended in amniotic static. ***YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE***, it whispers. Ravel aims her crossbow. "Yeah? Neither should you." --- **The Last Bloom** The fight is a blur. Lira turns on the Bloom, her scales becoming blades. Ravel's bolts shatter its cradle. I claw at the fetus, static tearing my hands to bone.

Minnie opened the door. A delivery man stood there holding a sleek white box tied with a crimson ribbon. “Delivery for Minerva Rivera.” She took it, heart fluttering for reasons she didn’t want to name. Inside was a simple bouquet of pale pink roses and eucalyptus, arranged with quiet elegance. Nestled among the blooms was a card in that same clean block handwriting. Looking forward to our partnership. – Johnny C. No hearts. No “xoxo.” Just words. But somehow, they landed harder than any emoji ever could.

But for Alex, he automatically knew who it was as he immediately recognized his white hoodie that got splattered with paint in the colors of the rainbow. He scrolled up and as the caption, he simply had a blue heart emoji. "Blue."

She was getting tired of people talking about her like she wasn't standing right there. Jimmy smiled and held out a glow stick first, then lifted his hand with the circle thing. Everyone stared at it. "It's a flower," Lexi said. "Helianthus," Ellie said. "I believe you mean, sunflower, Els," Brooke said. "Where'd you find it?" Alex asked. Jimmy grinned. "They're everywhere. Just small ones right now, but the further we went, the more we saw." "Do you know what this means?" Ellie said excitedly.

Chapter 27: I Trusted Her Before I Knew Her Name The sky hadn’t changed, but Aria had. She stood barefoot in the apartment, staring at the tenth bloom. It had pushed through the cracks in her ceiling like it was meant to be there. Its petals were long, curled, slick with some kind of dew that shimmered when she moved her head. Ten of them now. Ten different blooms. Ten different colors, shapes, textures — none of them natural, none of them replicable. Each of them pulsing, quietly alive.

" Luke was a whirlwind of emotion, spilling out words like a broken dam. Holly, on the other hand, might as well have been a statue. Eventually, she had had enough. She pulled out something that made Luke go silent. It was as if someone hit his mute button. It was a tiny camera. Luke had lost track of it after that day. He figured it was hidden in the bushes, gone for good. He never guessed it would end up in Holly's hands. Luke's face lost all color. Still, he tried to bluff. He spoke with a smile that did not reach his eyes, "W-what's that?" Holly's eyes were piercing as she watched Luke's pathetic show. "Cut the act, Luke.
