Picked Flowers Are Dead	comment	When you give someone flowers, you expect her to talk about how beautiful they are or how good they smell, not about how the poor flowers are dead or dying because you severed them from their roots. Yet, that's what's happening here. Maybe the recipient is some kind of Magical Native American, another Noble Savage or just very much Closer to Earth. Whatever the reason, they're feeling sorry for the poor flowers or even see them as something bad in a necromantic sort of way. If the complainer is a third party, they may criticize the receiver for enjoying the gift.

Picked Flowers Are Dead / int_4e54d2da	comment	In Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance during a Flashback Killia recalls when he picked a flower for Lieze. Lieze yelled at him saying that the flower was dead now, and not even Killia freezing the flower using Alma Ice Sculpture could help her mood in the slightest. The flower does serve a different narrative purpose after that; it reminds Killia of his biggest failure in Lieze's death.
