ross is interesed in the lifespan of roses, huh? and fujimoto is written with the kanji for wisteria. amaranth is obvious, though I'm stumped about kennith. my first guess was chrysanthemums, though that seems like kind of a stretch. regardless, i'm going to hedge a bet and say they're all dryads, with Amaranth being one without knowing it... explaining Hisashi's interest in her.
don't think I didn't notice the sketchiness of your story, my man.
Anway, this is an awesome teaser. I don't understand how you got this done AND worked on Booksleeper at the same time. The writing is good, the characters are good, everything is so active because of all the expression changes, and I really like that Amaranth's expression changes during narration. I had never thought of doing that. Actually, I just like Amie in general. Her jumping to conclusions is really funny, and it makes the story pretty lighthearted and fun...
Which really matches the art style. Oh! And the art is so cohesive! Everything looks so good together! Ugh, I would pay good money for a finished version of this game. Is this going to be a commercial release? It really should be.
Good work. I'll be watching this.
