On Earth - my Earth, anyway, though I'm sure it's true on other ones too - today is celebrated as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day in much of Europe and North America. It marks the day World War One ended, and in remembrance of those who've served in the armed forces, particularly those who died on the battlefield in sacrifice of a cause.

I've been a soldier most of my life - at times an unconventional one, but it doesn't make the battles any less real. I've seen a lot of people die fighting.

And here we are, today, conscripts in the middle of another war. So take a moment and remember those you may have lost at home - people close to you, or people you never knew who were fighting for you all the same. And think about why you fight here. Or why you don't fight, if that's the case. Both are choices not to be made lightly.

Was that Tsubomi or Flora? I've talked to both of them. They're nice.

[Then there was Stanley, who smuggled her flowers out of the hospital when he'd recovered.]

No, her name is Crystal.

Oh. I've never met anyone named Crystal before. She should definitely talk to Flora and Tsubomi so they can work together. I wouldn't mind helping out, too.

[Admittedly, she'd need to be told what to do, because Lily knows absolutely nothing about gardening beyond random academic facts about flowers.]

I'll let her know, when I have the chance. I offered to help out too, but that was a while ago now.

Thank you. It sounds like a good project.

Yeah - good to try and bring some life back to the planet where we can.
