Camellias

In the language of flowers, a camellia might mean 'exquisite beauty' or 'unpretentious'.

To Fuchouin Kazuki, they are a symbol of impossible survival.

The fire that had taken the lives of his family had taken their gardens, as well, and looming large in his memory is a single camellia bush standing untouched , the heat from the flames on all sides strengthening their scent to an almost choking consistency in the air.

He did not see that bush go up in flames, though he knows it must have. Jubei pulled him away too quickly.

He prefers it that way, really.
