Andromeda stood amidst the colorful blooms of the flower shop, her eyes gazing out the window absentmindedly. Her mind was consumed by the recent encounter with Conrad, the abrupt end to their conversation still weighing heavily on her.

She let out a sigh, her frustration evident in the way her shoulders slumped. "Why do I always mess things up?" she whispered to the nearest potted plant, as if seeking solace in its silent presence. "I thought maybe he could be my friend, someone to fill the void that's left when Lily leaves. But now... I don't know."

Her fingers gently caressed the velvety petals of a nearby rose, finding a semblance of comfort in its delicate touch. "I feel so alone right now," she confessed, her voice tinged with vulnerability. "I thought maybe I could find a connection with Conrad, but maybe I was just being foolish."

The plant stood tall and silent, its leaves swaying gently in response to a passing breeze. Andromeda continued to confide in her leafy companion, her words pouring forth with a mixture of sadness and longing. "I've always feared being alone, you know? That feeling of isolation and emptiness. But maybe I'm destined to be that way."

As she spoke, her voice grew softer, her gaze fixated on the intricate patterns of the plant's foliage. "I don't understand why it's so hard to connect with people, to find someone who truly understands. I try so hard, but it feels like I always end up disappointing myself."

Andromeda took a deep breath, her fingers tracing the curves of a blooming daisy. "But maybe it's not just about finding someone else. Maybe I need to learn to be comfortable in my own company, to embrace solitude without fear. After all, if I can't be content with myself, how can I expect someone else to fill that void?"

The plant remained a silent confidant, offering no judgment or advice, but providing a serene presence that brought a sense of calm to Andromeda's troubled thoughts. She took a moment to gather herself, wiping away a stray tear that had formed in the corner of her eye.

With renewed determination, Andromeda straightened her posture and smiled softly at the plant. "Thank you for listening, my leafy friend

Andromeda, engrossed in her work, glanced up as the door to the flower shop chimed, indicating the arrival of a customer. She smiled warmly, ready to offer her assistance, but as her eyes met the figure that walked in, her brows furrowed with a slight hint of concern.

The man was clad in a black hooded sweatshirt, the hood pulled low over his face, casting shadows that obscured his features. His hands remained tucked inside his pockets, adding an air of mystery to his presence. However, Andromeda dismissed any apprehension and approached him with her usual cheerful demeanor.

"Good afternoon! Welcome to our flower Shop" she greeted, her voice gentle and welcoming. "Is there something specific you're looking for today?"

The man remained silent, his head slightly bowed as if lost in thought. Andromeda took a step closer, her curiosity getting the better of her. "Can I help you find anything in particular? We have a lovely selection of fresh flowers and arrangements."
