Beat

A few gentle days after the first bloom: more buds open; the patch gains colour — a quiet rebellion against the grey. The girl tends with steady contentment. Nyra notices her ease versus prior hollowed grief. Several warm blossoms turn toward the light. The girl moves among buds in a private ritual of remembrance for her sister. The herb-gardener passes with her basket, remarks the whole bed will be full of colour before long; three women share quiet satisfaction. After the others return to tasks, the girl lingers — grief softened into daily tending, sister held with warmth rather than pain, hope for the season ahead.

Assembly
