What's Alice's deal there

A very late answer, but for clarity...

Roses, in the language of flowers, means "love", which is why they are popular around Valentine's. A quick googling says carnations and red tulips also signify love, while anemones represent longing.

Patchy and Marisa are trying to find flowers to accept from Rinno that would imply that he is showing his affection for them, and Alice is hiding the fact that she got to the roses first.

    As a Valencian, I love it: The exquisite detail with which the author has made the Valencian Labradora costume (popularly known as "de fallera"); the hairstyle adapted to make Miku recognizable, but keeping the "rodetes"; the flares in reference to pyrotechnics...

    You can tell that the artist is Valencian and she has put all her love into the illustration. :Heart:

    The artist linked an earlier tweet of theirs in the replies to this one, which translates as something like:

    Happened upon this.

    There's a theory that the "kuta" part of "kutakake" (chicken) comes from the Ainu-Itak "kotan" [TL note: village]. If that's the case, then could Kutaka Niwatari, in the world of Touhou where ainu influence is thin, be connected to the ainu?
