it was a fresh, delicate, little white flower, and it had been placed on the left hand of the scorched, broken divine statue. the contrast between it and the blackened statue made it appear especially pure, like snow, but also especially bleak. it looked like this divine statue had suffered all its injuries to protect the little flower.
