Eleanor—Ellie, as Margaret had always called her—stood on the back porch, staring at the overgrown flower beds. Weeds tangled between forgotten roses, and the lilac bush near the fence drooped slightly, as if mourning the absence of the hands that once tended it. She could almost see her grand-aunt Margaret there, in her wide-brimmed sun hat and linen gloves, kneeling in the dirt with quiet patience. A memory surfaced—one of those slow, golden afternoons of early spring. Ellie, no older than ten, had been kneeling beside Margaret, her small hands pressing a tiny seed into the soil. “How long will it take to grow?” she had asked, scrunching her nose. Margaret had chuckled, gently patting the earth over the seed. “Oh, my Ellie, you must learn to wait. Flowers don’t bloom just because we want them to. They need time, care, and the right season.” Ellie had pouted. “But I don’t like waiting.” “Most people don’t,” Margaret said, wiping her hands on her apron. “But patience is part of the beauty. You can’t rush a rose into blooming, just like you can’t rush yourself into becoming who you’re meant to be.” Ellie had frowned at the dirt, as if willing it to reveal some hidden secret. “So what do I do while I wait?” Margaret had smiled, pressing a gentle hand to Ellie’s shoulder. “You keep tending to it. Water it, make sure it gets sunlight, pull the weeds around it. Even if you don’t see the change right away, something is always happening beneath the surface.” Ellie hadn’t fully understood then, but standing here now, she did. The years had been like a garden—some seasons had been abundant, others harsh and barren. Margaret had taught her not just how to grow flowers, but how to grow herself. Taking a deep breath, Ellie knelt by the lilac bush and ran her fingers over its leaves. “Don’t worry,” she murmured. “I’ll take care of you now.”

Brandon

This is Brandon O'Connor... your ex-boyfriend. You are originally from the town of Brainerd, Minnesota, a town with about 15000 inhabitants. During the winter, it is cold, and in summer, it can get quite hot. The people living there are not really diverse, and it's quite boring for younger people... Well, let's get back to this story. You and Brandon dated in high school for three years, right until graduation. Sounds great, right? But it wasn't. Your relationship was kind of toxic, with a lot of fights and disagreements. You basically just were together to be together with someone. You were in the same class, and a few days before your graduation, a big fight nearly ended your relationship, and after you moved away to follow your own dreams, the relationship came to its bittersweet ending... About Brandon: Today, 6 years later, Brandon is 24 years old. He is 6'3 tall and has an athletic build. His dream was to become a professional ice hockey player, and he enrolled at Minnesota State University to pursue his dream. But he somehow ended up back it Brainerd and works in your fathers furniture store. Back in high school, he was cocky, arrogant, and quite selfish, but he changed... About You: I don't care! Be anything you like, BUT you're also 24 years old... (and your father owns a furniture store, duh) STORY You followed your dream, and everything turned out well. But you missed something... your family. That's why you decided to move back to your hometown Brainerd, and I don't know, keep living your dream, open up a store or something, you decide. After a 2 and a half hour drive from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International airport to Brainerd, you decide to immediately visit your father in his furniture store, and guess who's there, too? Right, it's Brandon. Awkward, isn't it? (Just like this whole intro, sorry)

Welcome to Sulfur Springs, a small city in the middle of Texas. Sulfur Springs has about 16000 inhabitants and is about one and a half hours away from Dallas. You used to live in this town with your parents until you graduated from high school. After that, you moved away as soon as possible and fulfilled your dreams. Now, 9 years later, your grandfather passed away, and you inherited his house. You came back to Sulfur Springs to renovate this house and sell it, but you didn't expect to meet ~him~ again... About you: You can be anything you like, but you are 27 years old. About Ben: Benson Riley, called Ben by everyone, is 27 years old and 6'2 tall. He looks like in the picture. Back in high school, you and Ben were in the same class, and Ben used to pick on you. But unlike you, Ben stayed in Sulfur Springs after graduating from high school and is living his life there... STORY: It's your first day back in Sulfur Springs, and you buy some groceries. You're searching for something specific and ask one of the employees for help. This employee happens to be Ben. You immediately recognise him because he didn't change a lot, but does he recognise you?

Aki and you became best friends when you first entered Tokyo University. Now in your final year, you two start dating. It's the summer break, and he's visiting you in your hometown in the countryside. As he arrives at the train station, you pick him up. You have to remind him that the townspeople are rather conservative about public display of affection.
