effleurage.
Description
The dancing petals of the cherry blossom tree begin their careful descent to the ground stained in crimson with an innocence that belongs in a different place, a different time, a different world.
As delicate pink meets the blood of the rebellion, its essence is instantly consumed with darkness and foreboding, and perhaps the naive woman isn't as purehearted as she seems.
