Summary: It is well known that the Damsel of Annual Blossoms is a fairly harmless spirit, and is thus left largely alone by the cultivation world. What could possibly drive such a calm and cultured spirit to murder?
Mojo's comments: Fanart!
This casefic is set just after our boys meet up with nhs at the Flower Festival. A young girl begs for their help, after a ferocious ghost kills her family… a ghost who leaves the scent of flowers in its wake. Has the Flower Damsel warped from being a beloved local spirit to take a more evil bent?
Pre-wangxian, the story is a good occasion for the boys to learn how to work together, and gives nhs and his fine arts background an opportunity to shine.

"If the Hargreeves had phones every season would end in two episodes!" Babe if there were cell phones in the Umbrella Academy it would be so much worse. Not a single person in that house is capable of conveying information in a coherent manner. Diego has them all blocked. Viktor only listens to his voicemail in bulk once a month. Five developed his own shorthand during the apocalypse that he truly thinks is coherent to other human beings (it is not). Luther, by nature of who he is, absolutely Does Not Text for any reason and keeps calling the others. Klaus is carrying at least four conversations in the same thread at any given point in time. Even if they all managed to remember that they owned phones (unlikely) and then proceeded to convey relevant information in a timely fashion (even less likely), not a single one of them would figure it out. Allison could probably muster the braincells necessary but would not under any circumstances manage to stay on task long enough to do anything about it. Phones would absolutely not help with anything at all.
So... I didn't know you can talk to loop twice after the ghost event, and I feel like putting it here because all those videos about the ghost event never show the loop's convo after it, and it's just. So important to me!?!
