[After almost two weeks of living in Sakura's guest room, Add is told he can finally return to his own temple. His feelings (now that he has them again) are mixed, but... he doesn't want to keep being a burden on her. Rather than say anything, he simply tidies up and leaves.
It's later in the day that she'll find something sitting on the floor of her room: a small box of adorable chocolate-filled marshmallows, with a few delicate white flowers laid out next to them. The petals will fall off if she breathes on them too hard.
There's also a short note on a piece of card, written in Add's extremely small and compact printing.]
( It doesn't take her long to notice something is different. Even when Add had kept to himself, she was always aware of his presence at her temple. When she goes to check, she finds his room is all tidied up with everything put away and looking as if no one had been there at all. And she really isn't surprised. She'd been sensing it for a while now. Add was clearly recovering and returning to his old self so it would only be a matter of time before he moved on.
It's both a sad and happy moment. She'd really gotten used to him being around but if he was well enough to decide it was time to leave... then that's nothing to be so upset over. It's too bad that she couldn't say good bye but she finds comfort in knowing she'll see him again.
When she finds her gift later in the day, she's surprised. She tries to pick up a flower at first but when the first petal falls, she understands it's nature right away and leaves them alone for the time being. Focusing on the box, she smiles to herself whens he sees what's inside. She'll have to share them with her shinki later.
Likewise for Add, much later in the evening, he'll receive a message from her, )
Thank you for your gift. I wish we could have said good bye. Please, take care and if you ever need anything, let me know.
[He was just going to leave her message at that, but then she has to go and send him another one... ugh, if she's asking him a question he can't just not answer it!
Several minutes later he texts her back with some fairly detailed instructions on where to find the camera function, as well as a few basic features like where the settings are what each of them roughly does. She doesn't seem to be very tech-savvy, so he's trying to keep things as basic as possible here.
... and then a few seconds after that:]
I'm just going back to my temple, it's not like I'm leaving forever.
( And it probably shows that she's trying to type a message and it takes a little while for it to come through but a picture is eventually sent! It isn't much, just a small vase with a flower arrangement featuring the flowers Add had left for her. )
[Aww, she put them in a little arrangement... they're special flowers to him, so it feels good to know they'll be treated properly. Not that he'd expect anything less from Sakura, of course.]
It looks good.
They're more interesting when they're rooted. I'll have to show you sometime.

Thanks for letting me stay.

Do you know how to send a picture with this? I've received them before but I've never sent one myself.
