I thought that too really, Ma'am. [ He takes a sip of his sake ] I mean, what can a soldier living off standard pay [ Albeit pretty good pay ] get for the scion of a multi-millionaire family.

So I thought I'd get her something that money can't buy. Something special. [ He's thinking of that crazy image in his mind of his initial, knee-jerk idea for a gift ] I actually thought of pulling up a Sakura tree and giving it to her like an over-sized bouquet actually. Don't worry, I'm not crazy; just the idea.

[ He takes a pause, as he contemplates his plan ] So I thought of what if I found a way to grow her one, in her own backyard. Bring her home a little piece of Japan she can always wake up to in the morning.
