[He's going to regret this later, but there's a bunch of excitedly high-pitched chirps like a bird singing a love song.]

[That's okay. It matches the background sounds.]

[But FAR more embarrassing is the scribbles he makes into the journal:]



[So someone has a case of Spring Fever. Or maybe just a fever.]

[And then in big bold colorful levels Marco makes sure to add:]

FREE FLOWER CROWNS FOR EVERYONE WHO SIGNS UP NOW.

[Yeah. He's kind of lost it.]

Hopefully you won't mind that I took the liberty of getting a little creative, Elissa.

[Indeed, when her seagull package arrives, she'll find a laurel crown with the leaves numbering a memorial for the lost Cousland family members and light blue flowers gently over the top.]

[It takes her a moment to get back to him once she's received the crown. Elissa may not have realized the significance of the number of leaves, but the fact that it is a laurel touches her a great deal.]

Marco, it is beautiful.

I never expected something so lovely or so personal. You have truly delivered happiness to me today and I shall not forget it.

Thank you.

I hope it brings some small manner of comfort in a memorial way.

I was fortunate enough to have a friend help me when my family members died or I couldn't have gotten through it.

Doing better now?

I am, thank you. This crown shall be worn with pride. I may even attempt to dry it in order to hang it on the wall.

Your kindness shall not be forgotten.

My pleasure. That sounds like a truly worthy place for it.
