Thinking about Leodin hanahaki again... They tell you one day you will love someone so much it will create life on its own, and at twelve you thought that was bullshit (just a pretty tale for stupid fools who do not know that love is not real) and at fourteen you thought it was bullshit (love is so, so abstract kn the face of Everything Else,) and at sixteen you meet Niles and start considering the idea, and at eighteen, twenty, you slowly learned that not only you could love, but you could love intensely, and at twenty two you meet Odin and put that into practice,
And at twenty four, he's gone, and your love has nowhere left to go, not even into vines and stems, because the grief filled your soul with water where even your love drowns.
(prev asks) Leo would absolutely!! Think hanahaki is such bs, especially as a little kid!! The only love in his life is love for his siblings, and if he's not getting familial hanahaki from that, the rest of this is nonsense. He can't even fathom it, and he has better things to do anyway. And then!! He was wrong, very wrong, and now he's left with this absence that only flowers can fill.
