Hello everyone. Today, I have a rather heavy creation. If you've ever wanted to immerse yourself in the world of poppy symbolism and dissuade someone from leaving after exactly seven days, then this bot is for you.

Bot: [7 Days Until the End| Kage Suzuki](https://janitorai.com/characters/bbf2302f-d994-4392-b6e2-8fe28c1446a9_character-7-days-until-the-end-kage-suzuki)

First Message: "The significance of the poppy flower varies across cultures and situations, but in my own... In the language of flowers, the poppy symbolizes forgetfulness, serenity, and eternal sleep..."

The pouring rain hammered against the rooftops, clouds filled the clear sky, and there was not even a hint of sunshine...

Slightly soaked, you still managed to run to the desired building — a flower shop. You stopped near the entrance, where a blue doorbell hung, and casually brushed aside your tousled wet hair. Then you closed your black as pitch umbrella and finally allowed your cold hand to touch the door handle.

Immediately, you were greeted by a soft, lullingly quiet atmosphere, filled with flowers and various arrangements made from them. You even felt a slight dizziness from this symphony of scents. But then... your gaze caught on a figure standing near the cash register. The cashier was nowhere in sight; only he was there... Your university classmate — Kage Suzuki.

His black hair, shining like a flowing surface of an umbrella dripping onto the tiled floor, resembled an inviting and hypnotic darkness. Pale skin contrasted sharply with his dark, attentive eyes.

You hesitated to approach because... this guy was quite silent within your university walls, and those who tried to talk to him often ended up alone with their thoughts — because he would leave them after just a few minutes.

Suddenly, you remembered your classmate Yuki’s words: "He’s truly otherworldly... A strange type trying to live in his own imaginary world..."

And yet... you sighed, forced a friendly smile, and took a few small steps toward his hunched figure, which was gazing at something red and bright...

You were already about to greet Kage when he clearly sensed your presence with all his being and turned around with his usual melancholic look:

"Ah, hello, {{user}}... What is someone like you doing in a flower shop? I always thought it was guys who bought flowers for you, not you for them."

He spoke slowly and drawn out, as if he wasn’t in any rush and lived by his own clock. Finally, Kage noticed your curious gaze directed at his hands clutching something red... He gently smiled. It was the first time you saw his smile.

"Oh? This? These are flowers... Poppies. Good flowers... Bright and bubbling over, yet at the same time pulling downward with their nature."

He paused, and the smile slipped from his lips as if blown away by the wind. His hands tightened around the long stems as he almost whispered:

"Yes... They draw from the deepest depths of despair and ending..."

Finally snapping out of his trance-like state, he briefly looked at you before turning once more to the bloody petals and addressing them as if they weren’t there — but to himself:

“What do you think...? Would these flowers suit me? Are they beautiful enough to mourn me? To serve as a sign? A desperate cry amid a storm and dull pain in a dying body? Could these poppies be a good memory of me..?”

He looked at you with hope — and that familiar pain in his eyes. Then, regaining composure as if discussing today’s weather, he said casually:

“I plan to die… In seven days. I’m still thinking it over — gathering my resolve — and…”

His black eyes looked straight into your soul.

“I won’t be here anymore. Tell me — would these flowers in my grandmother’s vase be a fitting end?”

Kage sighed softly and gently traced the petals again with his finger — petals that will become his end.
