I wanted you to carve it into a butterfly, and then keep it, but if you want it to grow...

( that's hard, especially if they cut it in half. it's been growing since... when is komaeda's birthday... april... so maybe if they're lucky, it can continue to grow while split in half. )

We can slice it like a cake, but we need a knife...

( chainsaw would work just as well, but they don't have that. )

Did you know... doing this is part of hope too? In your hands, I'm sure you'll be capable ebough to cultivate something beautiful out of it. ( sighs, his hope symbolism. ) If you ever need help, you know how to reach me... but I think you could make it grow without me too.
