Josh looked surprised when he heard about the flower, and a part of him was rather sad about it as well. He had it since they had met rather early on, and he knew Akira cared for it a lot, especially when he accidentally forgot to water it, but knowing it was completely ruined now…it was saddening.
"It's not stupid." Josh whispered softly a few moments later, looking at Akira and frowning. "It meant a lot to you. You don't have to feel like that. It had sentimental value. But the reason why you're upset because it was something we had done together. But even if it is ruined, we're still together. We can grow a new one together, start it as a seed, maybe put it in your room, so Lady can't touch it." Josh tried to explain.

Despite it simply being a flower, it meant something to Akira, but mostly because it was something Harumi and Josh provided him with, something he had received a while ago. It had no real value, other than a memory of what it had held, and Josh knew it must have been hard to see something he cared about become destroyed.
