@jay-lea YESSSSSSS. I see her being just like, what’s cool here on earth? Poetry and flowers are beautiful everywhere I should probably focus on those AND THEN SHE’S SO PROUD TO SHOW HER PEERS WHAT SHE KNOWS
(Bonus points if she’s a little desperate to see good in the world in their circumstances and as much as she cares about the culture for their mission she just really wants to find something on earth to lose herself in)
(Bonus bonus if Mako knows something about trying to use plants to help your own growth from grief and she doesn’t say anything directly but developes a soft spot for Taiki as they garden together)
