A Blue Memory
Anara, a young, lonely girl, discovers a strange, blue flower, alone in the desert. She brings it back home, where she is haunted by an eerie presence of a faceless-man. Avoiding him, she goes back to the desert to find more blue flowers. In order for the flowers to survive the heat of the desert, Anara is forced to face her fear of water. With her friend, Eldos, by her side, she unravels the memories that the blue flowers have resurfaced, within her.
