Ah, spring! A time of rebirth! New beginnings! Although seeing the pink petals scattered on the breeze before the school year even ended instead of as a new one was beginning was still pretty weird for Kiyotaka, he still held on to the promise of a hopeful future the flowers brought. Especially after one disaster after another hitting him since new year's. This would be his symbolic fresh start instead, and nothing terrible would ruin it.

(Except for the part where an earthquake would cause the ground to swallow him and Hajime up at some point before the flowers died, of course. But that was an adventure for another time.)

Given the fleeting nature of the blossoms, he was going to spend a fair chunk of his free time outside enjoying them while he could, whether he was bringing his lunches or his homework out to do so. And ignore the other flowers.
