The Hollow Spring
What kind of Sakura did Monsieur Dior actually see?
Dior whispers of Sakura and sings of Japan.
They weave a narrative of "Japonism" and "delicate craftsmanship" like a lullaby for the mindless.
But their Sakura has no blood in its veins.
True beauty in Sakura is madness—a transience that suggests the tree hides the bodies it has consumed. It is the intersection of life and death
What they manufacture now is a hollow Japonism. A mere pink stamp in the shape of a flower.
If Monsieur Dior saw this today, he would weep, realizing no one truly understands the Esprit he once stitched into his dresses.
The gifted are always haunted by the vain who possess no talent of their own.
Monsieur Dior’s soul has been tarnished, smothered under a shroud of imitation craft.
His Sakura may be stained, but mine will remain untouchable.
To touch these branches, you must first strip away every brand you wear.
Otherwise, the Sakura will consume you too.
Tell me, you talentless mediocrities: Is it fun, preying on the gifted and turning a soul into a mere symbol?
P.S. My Sakura says your soul is too empty to even taste good.
