As if he was trying to hold on to something slipping through his fingers. Later, he made lunch, and after we ate, he suggested something simple, “Let’s go to the garden,” he said. “You can read to me. One of your stories.” I agreed with a nod, and we walked to the garden, where a great sakura tree stood in full bloom. Its pink blossoms fluttered gently in the breeze like snow caught in sunlight. I sat beneath its shade, surrounded by vibrant blooms, jasmine, bellflowers, poppies, and opened the book.

In the windless and rainless day, his shoulders seemed to be a little wet. Ash looked away, chasing Alex crying eyes, and smiled, "And even now, crying is all right, my shoulders I'll rely on you." "Who is crying?" Alex turned his head, the redness in the corner of his eyes had not disappeared , and said with a smile, "It's the cherry blossoms that are too red." "Good~ good," Ash didn't argue, holding Alex who is shaking indiscriminately, "It's too red." He don't know how long it has been. It may be a few moments, or it may not be until the afternoon when the tourists are gone. The sun melts into the wind and flowers. Ash holds his lover's hand before saying that sentence.

The park brimmed with life that afternoon, the kind that felt gentle and unhurried. Children’s laughter floated across the lawn, mingling with the hush of leaves that swayed in the soft breeze. The cherry blossoms were in bloom again, their petals drifting lazily through the air like snowflakes caught in sunlight. Nearby, the fountain whispered as water spilled into its basin, its steady rhythm blending with the easy sounds of joy around it.

[Sera] Spring arrived in Seattle the way it always does. Reluctantly, and then all at once. Three months after the hospital. The cherry blossoms on our block opened on a Tuesday, and by Wednesday the sidewalk between Vance's and Voss & Grain was carpeted in pink petals that stuck to everyone's shoes. Lulu collected them in fistfuls and deposited them in Killian's shop, which he pretended to mind and didn't.

The clerk didn’t even look up. They wandered, fingers brushing worn spines, silence stretching comfortably. He picked up a slim volume of poetry and passed it to her. “For Women Who Are Birds in Cages Made of Mirrors.” By someone she’d never heard of. She flipped through it, then read one line aloud: “She stitched silence into the hem of her voice, so the world wouldn’t hear her unravel.” Renner watched her, his eyes unreadable. “I like her,” she said softly. “I thought you might.”

Rushing around frantically, I searched for her in the last direction that I'd seen her go. It felt like I walked for ages but finally, I knew she was near because suddenly the storm swirled away into the distance, then ceased. The snow was melting and as I trudged toward her, shivering and frostbitten, she stood in a beautiful, lush garden. Moss and chartreuse grass grew before my eyes. She turned to me, and I was bewildered when koby-pink cherry flower blossoms began to fall at my feet, covering the ground. I reached out for the cherry blossom and held it. The branch broke under my grasp, and everything turned frigid.

I felt like it was cooling the anger and hatred simmering in my heart, putting a cool touch to it. "After the end of cold winter, there is a spring festival with cherry blossom in full bloom. You will like that very much." I heard him say in a small voice. He knew I was going to leave in some days and it's barely been the start of winter; spring wasn't until next year. But I didn't correct him. Because we both maybe wanted to forget about the reality for a moment and live in this dream, until daybreak comes and our eyes open.

And the quiet truth that this time… their child would never know a world shaped by fear. Epilogue – Spring The cherry blossoms bloomed early that year. A baby cried softly in the background as Elena walked through the garden, cradling her daughter against her chest. Killian was ahead of them, pushing a stroller with their sleepy-eyed son, a contented look on his face that still took her breath away. They passed under the trees—white petals falling around them like blessings—and for once, nothing needed fixing. Nothing needed avenging. There was no war left to fight.

Expected discomfort. Instead, something strange happened. The cold barely bothered her. Even with snow gathering lightly against her cloak and wind moving through her hair, she found herself oddly comfortable. The sharp bite of winter that should have made her miserable felt familiar somehow, like her body already understood it in ways her mind didn’t. She loosened her grip slightly against Silas’s fur, glancing out across the mountains again. ** The further they moved away from the castle, the quieter everything became.
