In this chapter, we learn that the shop owner, Mr. Tulkinghorn, is a "princess" . He's got a "thorn" in his side, but he's also got "weirdo customers" , like the girl who published him in the magazine. The girl, who we'll call "hagiya" because she's not her real name, is all, "I'm not a stalker, I'm just a cute girl who works at a flower shop." She's totally into flowers, hagi, and the guy who runs the flower shop. But, as she says, "knowledge never lies," so she'll have to learn to care for them. So she goes to the shop and apologizes, but the girl is all "I don't know why you're so sorry, I just wanted to apologize in person." The girl says that she'd like to learn more, but she can't read the book on flower arranging, so she asks the girl to help her out.
