It didn't take Kamil very long to get used to living in Oak Tree Town. It had a different feel from Bluebell, but in like manner, it had similarities. He met all of the townspeople and was welcomed with open arms. He stayed at the inn owned by Maurice and his two daughters, Lillie and Melanie, and met his floor mate, Nadi, who was a landscaper. While Nadi was a quiet young man who awkwardly made small talk with the girls, Kamil was used to it, thanks to Laney (mostly Howard), and always offered a hand around the inn like how he would do at the cafe.
His room, 204, was the farthest one on the second floor. The first thing he noticed were the walls that were plastered with flowery, pale pink wallpaper, much to his liking. There was a table in the middle which he planned to use as a desk, which faced the two windows that allowed plenty of sunshine into his room. Using some of the flowers he brought from Bluebell, he made a quick but elegant bouquet to decorate the room even more. He found that the flowers brightened his room instantly and he felt more at home.
In a week, Kamil knew everyone by name and what their schedule was like. His schedule was much like the one he had in Bluebell. He would study, then have a day off, then go back to studying again. However the people he was surrounded by made it seem like he was living a totally different life. Occasionally, he would drop by the house of the perfumer, Klaus, to learn about perfumes and fragrances. Lillie and Melanie weren't the only nice siblings in town. The other pair, Iris (Kamil absolutely loved the flowery names trend in the town) and Mistel, who lived close by were also quite friendly. There was even Giorgio, who was also interested in growing flowers. He got tips and tricks he never heard of before.
So far, he enjoyed living in Oak Tree Town. He wanted to gain more knowledge about flowers. He wanted to know what he was missing out on.
He had almost forgotten why he moved in the first place.
Ash's words echoed in his mind, "There's a difference between pressing on and forgetting."
But no, she wouldn't let that happen. Not when she was also in town every single day, reminding him. To settle things once and for all, he planned to find out more about her. Maybe it would put him at ease to know who she really was.
"Oh, Annie?" Melanie questioned him, tilting her head to the side in wonder. "Are you interested in her?"
"N-No, I just feel like I've seen her before. She reminds me of someone..."
"There aren't many girls like Annie," the child pointed out. "Well, she moved here just last year. She's great! She always plays with me and she's really good at hide and seek..."
Lillie, her older sister, added, "She's been a big help here. You might not believe me, but Oak Tree Town used to be very quiet and lonely before she and a few others moved in here."
"That includes you, Kamil!" Melanie cheered. "Now we have tons of visitors in town! And more playmates at the inn!"
Kamil leaned forward in his seat, eager to find out more about Annie, the girl whose appearance bothered him since day one. "Did she ever say anything about where she came from? Maybe a town?"
"I'm... actually not sure about that," Lillie replied, raising her eyebrows in shock. "I remember I asked her before, but she wasn't specific. Oh, silly me, I've forgotten!"
"That's alright," Kamil smiled softly. "I was just curious about her. She was the one person I haven't really spoken to yet."
The weather girl nodded her head. "Ah, I see. But hey, did you want to learn more about anyone else?"
Melanie joined in excitedly, "Fritz's weird eating habits? Iris' books? Klaus' past?"
Kamil simply smiled at the two lively sisters. Why is it that he found himself confiding in the two girls? And that they actually had a lot of information about the other villagers?
"Melanie, that might be a little bit too much information for today!"
"But Lillie, Kamil wants to know..."
"Not that much!"
He was perhaps destined to live with a gossipy family.
