first we must establish some important facts. aoi and kokuyo are not different viscets, as they
are the same. however, aoi presents herself as a florist and a flower arranger whereas kokuyo is
a sinister assassin who takes on all of her missions that have high pay, regardless of difficulty.
the way they dress are slightly different, as kokuyo ties her hair into a tight bun during missions
and adorns less accessories. the only items that stay are the earring, the headband, and the
scarf. through careful thinking some viscets may be able to piece together the similarities, but
who would suspect that aoi, a friendly florist, is actually kokuyo?

aoi's name and profession had been chosen with great care and thinking. the hollyhock stands for
fertility, fruitfulness, and ambition. you could tell with one glance that aoi is not a viscet from the
city, but rather from the suburbs. to forge a place for herself in modern society and in a city
requires ambition and hard work, and aoi is nothing short of those traits. her namesake, the holly-
hock, had such an impact on her and it prompted her to learn more about hanakotoba, the language
of flowers. there is a hidden meaning in each flower, and to arrange the blooms in various patterns
that looks nice and have a meaning behind it is a feat that few are able to accomplish. however, aoi
is patient and willing to learn. so learn she did.
hanakotoba and the art of flower arrangement can almost be viewed as a religion to aoi. flowers
had helped her out in times of difficulty, and small floral patterns had their place on her fur as well.
nothing was as satisfying to aoi than spending hours upon hours placing flowers in their rightful
places. a bouquet of red tsubaki among among yellow tsubaki would signify a strong, but one sided
love. many viscets have came up to aoi requesting bouquets arranged with such flowers, although
carnations do pop up now and then during mother's day, and shiragiku would only be requested
should there be a death of a viscet. now and then there are foreigners who request sakura, but the
shop does not stock sakura, as they only bloom for a short while before dying. day and night, aoi
remains behind the counter of the flower shop, carefully tending and arranging the blooms one by
one until they are near perfection. the meaning cannot be missed in the flowers; the message that
aoi writes in the flowers are clear and many are appreciative of her work. they all represent some-
thing, and only a fool would not take time to examine aoi's arrangements.

indentkokuyo is an assassin, plain and simple. no, actually, kokuyo's true identity is aoi, but that is a
secret that kokuyo will keep with her until the end of her days. when mere flower arranging isn't quite
enough to sustain the life that she has to live, aoi had reluctantly turned to the art of killing. though grim
and mortifying, being an assassin meant better pay as a florist and the fluid movements that one had to
master to become a seasoned killer was as graceful as the movements of a florist's arm meticulously
sliding flowers in between other blooms. under this new guise, aoi became kokuyo, and the differences
begin to grow.
indentkokuyo is well known in the darker side of the city's society as someone who kills effortlessly and
mercilessly so long you give her a good price. it is difficult to catch her off guard, as she is never
complacent in observing her surroundings. her golden horns may gleam in the moonlight, but they are
usually covered by a hood or wrapped in dark coloured cloths. she keeps multiple weapons on her, as there
are knives strapped to her arms, a gun in the pocket of her large coat, and a poison injected into her
claws that guarantee instant death if you are scratched harshly enough by them.
indentthere is not much known about kokuyo's personality other than the fact that she's quite short-
tempered and sarcastic, and clients who have had the misfortune of falling onto her bad side would shiver
while remembering the way her feet falls silently and swiftly as she held one of her many blades to their
neck as a warning. do not cross me, you will never live to tell the tale. doesn't matter if you're not my
target; i will kill whoever i want to kill. kokuyo has a morbid personality, personally finding humour in
leaving flower petals and bunches of higanbana around the site where she had assassinated her target. it
doesn't matter if you don't understand; the locals will cover their mouths in horror at the sight.
indentafter all, everyone around the area knows that the higanbana is the flower of death. poisonous
to rodents and other small critters, such flowers were originally planted in cemeteries to keep the pests
out. a flower that blooms as summer recedes and gives way to autumn, a flower that kokuyo loves using
to decorate the bodies of the viscets she killed. locals now associate the higanbana with death and the
arrival of kokuyo. there is no escaping that assassin.
indentaoi had admitted at many times that she admired the higanbana's beautiful petals, and the eerie
story behind them.
indentclients who know kokuyo well enough will know that she does enjoy the way the hollyhock flowers
reach up towards the sky as high as possible.
indentput together the information you have been given. do not cross aoi. do not cross kokuyo. do not
mention flowers at all. she might let you live then.
