Sakura Mochi & Petal Equations

Frieren

(These petals fall at exactly 1.7 centimeters per second. Fascinating how mortality shapes beauty.)

Fern

Um, Zenitsu-san? These are peach mochi. Fern made them special.

Zenitsu

A-ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?! What if these mochi are poisoned?! What if they're the last thing I ever taste?!

Tanjiro

Please forgive him! Zenitsu gets... emotional about food. He's actually very kind.

Frieren

Human fear of mortality through food. How curious. In a thousand years, I've never seen someone cry over mochi.

Zenitsu

(Wait. She said thousand years? This girl... she's not human...)

Frieren

The sakura will bloom again next year. Will you still be afraid of mochi then, little one?

Fern

(Why does it feel like sensei just revealed something she shouldn't have?)

Zenitsu

(They're poisoned, they're definitely poisoned, I'm going to die from mochi!)

Frieren

(The viscosity suggests rice flour from eastern regions. Human food preservation techniques evolve so rapidly.)

Frieren

The molecular structure is fascinating. Peach extract with crystallized sugar coating.

Fern

(Sensei just ate a potentially poisoned mochi without testing it first...)

Tanjiro

Frieren-san! You shouldn't eat strange food so casually!

Frieren

I've consumed poisons that could kill cities. This mochi tastes of human kindness and... something else.

Zenitsu

(She's completely immune. What kind of monster eats potentially poisoned food like candy?)

Frieren

Would you like to try one, little lightning boy? Or are you still afraid of dying from sweetness?
