Once upon a time, there was a blue rose that bloomed by a window — a flower said to bring happiness.

It brought joy to all who passed by, until one day, its petals fell away.

A kind-hearted young man tried everything he could to help the rose bloom again, but nothing worked.

"Ah... it's no use anymore," thought the blue rose. And just then, two fairies appeared before it.

The fairies comforted the blue rose and led it away to a land of happy dreams.

The days spent there healed the blue rose's heart and made it forget all the pain of reality.

Yet even so, time in the real world went on, unchanged.

And little by little, the blue rose began to avert its eyes from reality, closing its heart to the world it left behind.
