Let her do what she wants

[player]...Let's not disturb her.
Sara once said that we don't need to worry about Little Miaow as she always returns after walking off. She's accompanied us all day, so she deserves some free time to play.
Like Sara said, a group of people partied all night, and I even joined them in the end and played with them until sunrise before resting. After noon, Sara and I watch as they embark on their journey.
On the next day, Soul starts performing again, and I almost miss out on getting a ticket...
[Sara]Oh, you're here. Is this... a desert rose?
After the performance on this day, I bring a gift backstage for Sara—a desert rose potted plant.
[player]I saw it at the bird and flower market earlier, so I brought it with me.
[Sara]It's blooming very magnificently. Thank you.
[player]If you like it, I'll bring another one next time... Eventually, maybe you'll have a field of desert roses.
[Sara]...Did you give me this because I told you about my "homeland" the other day?
[Sara]Thank you for your kindness, but it's too costly for you to watch the performance and bring flowers. I'm already very happy that you come to watch my performance.
[player]It's alright, I won't be bringing flowers every time. It's just...
[Sara]I'm really happy that you like my dance, but... I don't want to become a burden to you. Is my dancing really worth it for you to try so hard to make my wish come true?
[Little Miaow]...
I fall silent for a moment and sort out my thoughts.
[player]Sara, you said that one of the reasons you joined the tour performance is so you can find your homeland. If... I can show you the scene of the homeland you've imagined, maybe you won't be in such a rush to find your homeland and embark on a journey.
[player]Of course, I know that you'll leave and go to another place with Soul one day. Like I said before, as your fan, I just want to see more of your dancing.
[player]Your dancing is worth it for me to try hard to make your wish come true.
I couldn't say it out loud, but the thing is, I've become timid.
The carriage will eventually leave one day. I used to think I was mentally prepared for this, but that short night I spend with the "outsiders" made me realize that some partings can catch you off guard more than you think.
[Sara]...It looks like I've become your burden anyway.
[player]That's not what I meant...
[Sara]Thank you. I'll be looking forward to receiving the next potted plant.
[player]Eh?
Before I can respond, Sara walks away with the potted plant.
[Sara]Hehehe.
I don't know how she's feeling about this in the end, but she should be happy, right?
After that, I would give her desert rose potted plants after her performance from time to time.
Until one afternoon when Sara called me and asked me to go to where the "outsiders" were camped before.
The smoke and flames of that day have long dissipated. In their place is a field of desert rose potted plants.
Sara smiles at my shocked expression.
She's wearing a new dress made from the fabrics we picked together.
As promised, I'm the first to see her dress.
She's also brought a new dance with her.
I sit on the ground and admire her new dance.
At the same time, I don't forget to pick up my camera and take the most beautiful photo of Sara because we promised Lilia that she'll get to see Sara's new dress.
...Oh, it's a desert rose.
As Sara's mother said, a desert rose is blooming like flames...
