Indeed it is.Nature is a harsh mistress, is it not, Nee-sama.The garden's cherry trees are in full bloom again this year, are they not, Nee-sama?I give my thanks to be able to see them once again this year.Flowers have their cherry trees, and people have their shipgirls, yes?Us too - while it would be a fine thing for us to be beautiful when we finally drop too...But as the cherry blossoms ever on - next year, the year after - forever...No matter how beautiful, that it's the final year - that makes me so sad.When the blossom is just poised to drop - that is when it's at its most beautiful, no?
