Iris the Florawfawn has been holding onto a secret from Nate, a regular patron at the yearly Spring Events, for several years now. She's wanted to tell him for so long, but she can't find the courage to do it, which has caused her a bit of depression this time of year for a while. Her concerned troupe member, Poppy, checks in on her, and gives her a little pep talk to try to convince her to finally let the mouse know. Will it work? What is this secret?
