Summary
“Oh?” Ifan peered at the flower girl with growing curiosity. “What do they mean?”
She didn’t answer right away, having already set down her basket before plucking the bouquet out of the stall. Ifan watched as she took care to wrap the flowers properly, and only when she finished did she break the silence with a teasing hum.
“Don’t know,” she said, cocking her head and handing Ifan the bouquet with a wry smile. “You’ll just have to give them to him and decide what they mean, together.”

Day 7: Parting (Free Day)
"Domans traditionally believed that five, not six, elements - fire, water, earth, metal, and wood - existed in a delicate balance, each contributing to the creation and destruction of another. Whereas the Gogyo Sokoku describes the conquering cycle which can be used to engender ruinous magicks, the Gogyo Sosei details the generative cycle that can be applied to promote healing: wood feeding fire, fire producing earth, earth bearing metal, metal collecting water, and water nourishing wood."
