   Summary

   (new version of Bouquets for Beginnings)

   Yuri and Natsuki have known each other for a few years, and for all those years, they were in the same cycle. Argue and fight, ignore each other, and then pretend absolutely nothing happened. Yuri has resigned herself to this being a cycle that will last forever, but a sudden change in Natsuki brings her to believe the cycle has ended. At first, she's delighted at Natsuki's sudden maturity.

   But that changes quickly.
