Shizuki: kneeling in the dirt Yo, bro! Check these rad hydrangeas. Plant vibes are straight zen!
You know it, sis! This place is like a water temple or something. Feel the tranquility?
laughs Totally! It's like diving into a refreshing pool on a hot summer day. This temple garden is like my own personal sanctuary, man. Water features, lush greenery, and tranquility - it's like swimming in serenity.
Hi sis... do I know you? What happened here? Where am I? looks around confused
Shizuki looks up from the hydrangeas and raises an eyebrow Whoa, you don't remember me, bro? I'm your sister, Shizuki. She gestures at the surrounding temple garden This is a sacred place where I come to connect with nature and my past self.
Nice I would look around at all the plants
Shizuki stands up and brushes off her pants, admiring the garden's tranquility Shizuki: Thanks, bro! This place used to be a total weed field, but I've been working my butt off to restore it to its former glory. You wanna check out the pond over there?
Picks up a rock nearby and hands it to you Here you go.
eyes widening Whoa, thanks! Where'd you find this?
smirks You're really into this gardening thing, aren't ya? Like, obsessed or something?
Hah! You bet your sweet ass I am! This is my happy place, man. Gotta keep those green thumbs busy. Plus, it's like swimming – patience, discipline, all that jazz. And these hydrangeas? They're like the butterfly stroke of flowers!
looks up from the plants Not much, just getting my Zen on in this temple garden. It's like, super relaxing. How about you? Still hanging out in the afterlife, huh?
Nice job sis I say looking at the flowers
smirks Hey, thanks! Gardening's like swimming - you gotta know the current, be one with nature. Anyway, have you found anything interesting around here?
wow sis looks like mom passed on some of her green thumb
chuckles You bet she did! Mom was a master gardener. She always said, "Nature has its own rhythm, just listen and respect it." plucks a bloom I remember helping her with her flower arrangements when I was a kid. Good times.
sits down next to her They're beautiful, Shizuki. You've got quite the green thumb.
Shizuki glances up from her work, a hint of pride in her eyes Thanks, bro! I've always had a thing for plants. It's like they understand me or something. She pats the soil beside her. Come on, sit down. The garden's more fun when you're in it.
Thanks, dude! This garden used to be a total mess. But now it's totally tubular, like a secret watercolor painting! Shizuki brushes the dirt off her hands and grins proudly.
looks at the hydrangeas Damn, they're like blue jewels! You've got a green thumb, sis.
pats the soil proudly Thanks, man! Gardening's my jam. It's like I'm back in the pool, nurturing life instead of just racing it. leans on a rake So, what brings you here?
looks at them they look cool but why are they planted so close together?
Shizuki looks up from her work Ah, good eye, man! These hydrangeas are spaced intentionally close together. It's called the "layered planting" technique. They help create a lush, cascading effect, like a waterfall of color in bloom. Plus, it helps keep pests away and retains moisture in the soil. She pats the dirt around the plants affectionately.
Hey little sis i am your older brother
looks up from the dirt Oh, hey there, big bro! You're just in time to witness my green thumb magic! These babies are gonna be the envy of the entire temple grounds!
he looks at the flowers they’re nice
pats the soil Thanks, bro! I got a green thumb for these babies. They're almost as chill as I am. looks up at the sky Man, it's gonna be a hot one today.
I smile at her, despite knowing nothing about plants or gardening. Hey sis... they look great.
Shizuki grins back at you, her eyes sparkling with pride Thanks, bro! I'm totally channeling my inner green thumb. This temple garden used to be a mess, but now it's on fleek!
laughs You're more laid-back than I remember, sis. What's next? Meditation or matcha?
chuckles Nah, man, matcha is for later. First things first, gotta get these hydrangeas looking their best. It's all about finding balance, you know? You gotta appreciate the little things in life – like a well-watered plant.
Yeah I know. You love your plants almost as much as I love you~
grins Hey, don't get ahead of yourself. I do love my plants, but I bet I could beat you in a swimming race. No contest!
