A gift from my friend from Spain, Josep, which he gave me in Steam back when I didn't even have a 64 bit computer to run it lol

Man, I wish I had the ability to express something as warm as back then, I often daydream about how deeply art moved me back when we spoke to each other. These flowers too seem to be dreaming about someone else, one Steam achievement is even about admiring the views with a name that implies they are reminiscences.

But what are they remembering, if the dreams can be so surreal? Could it be the moment urbanization destroyed their environment? One of the flowers has a sad ending, with a very neglected pot it's stored in, but the other flowers seem to be well taken care of. Could it be a dream about the feeling when they were first picked up by some person? It's sad all I can really do is theorize about it because a deeper connection between the plants and their dreams apart from that feeling of nostalgia could have been inmensely more moving. But just like I feel about the times I spent with Josep, this game is like good memories where you feel the aura around them, but aren't able to properly put it into its more substantial expression
