Winter to Spring (冬から春へ)

“It’s spring, it’s spring!” Maya excitedly yelled.

The day was bright with only a single wispy cloud in the sky. A day off from school and armed with bentos from home, Maya and Megu headed for a nearby public garden. The trees were still bare, but early spring buds had appeared. It was a day to be savored with adventures to be had.

“No, it’s not. It’s only early March,” Megu corrected her.

“It’s warm and sunny. That means it’s spring!”

“No, it doesn’t,” Megu insisted.

Undeterred, Maya continued, “They have computers at school now, and I saw a poem about this. The English teacher made us translate it. So mean! It was hard!—Want to hear it?”

“Sure, if it will make you happy.”

          Sunny skies
          The cold yet remains.
          Rain at bay
          Rosemary first flower
          Plum and sakura yet.

“That’s in English! How am I supposed to understand that?” Megu said.

“Well, never mind,” Maya said, running down the path. “My translation was trash, so let’s forget it and climb a rosemary tree instead.”

Happy birthday to Yohane! My favorite character ever, and one of my greatest comforts. Her character theme of finding and embracing one's true self became a core theme of Aqours (find our own shine), and is one I hold near and dear. And it was by cosplaying her that I've grown as a person, made so many friends, and had so many wonderful experiences. She really is my greatest inspiration and my idol! 🤍😈

My big Yohane day celebrations: Making chocolate strawberries (her two favorite foods!) for my Yohane plushies, gathered under my Yohane wall with my wings.  And gathering up (some of...) my merch for a shrine celebration  .
