eeeeee

Onward. Probably to be interrogated by Anju at lunch.

Anju was given a box of chocolates and a heart-sealed envelope with Haru's name on it by someone. That someone said they were given it by someone else. That someone else said they were given it by yet a fourth person. It is unclear how far up the chain goes.

"Oh my god. Thank you, Anju."

"Who's it from?"

"Was it signed?"

"No..."

"Then apparently they don't want you to know."

What's in the envelope?

Roses are red,
except the one I showed you.
I wonder if you can guess
whence I got its hue?

I was assuming you magicked the rose, since it was glowing, am I mistaken?

Oh, I did, but I picked that colour for a reason.

...it's very pretty? I don't recognize it. He pops a chocolate in his mouth to justify not answering Anju's expectant stare.

It's the colour of your soul gem.

Aww. Anju's very intrigued indeed, which I assume was predictable.

Mmhm. If you want to tell her the gifts are from a very handsome boy who is completely gone over you you can feel free to do so.

Once I've unglued my teeth from this very yummy caramel.

Hehehehehehe.

"Do you know who it's from?" Anju insists.

"Maybe I'm eating anonymous candy from a stranger."

"Haru!"

"Yes, I know who it's from, but I have no wish to ruin his elaborate misdirection."

"Do you like him ba-a-ack?" she coos.

"He's trying really hard to convince me, wouldn't you say?"

"Okay, even I have to say that's romantic, though. Hirata said he saw you get a book earlier, too? Are you just getting a bunch of gifts?"

"And little poems."

"Awwwwww let me read one -"
