Atang met K549 on a rainy evening, before summer had begun.
They exchanged names. The girl chewed gum and asked what K549 stood for.
It sounded like a model of firearm. Was it any good?
K549 asked her in turn, "Why are you called Greenovia?"
Atang smiled. "It's Latin. It means mountain rose.
You know what a rose looks like. I don't need to explain."
Mountain rose.
The first time K549 heard that name, he thought it was a kind of rose.
Just another beautiful, vivid, fragile flower, usually with a pleasant scent.
Only after summer had passed did he learn
that mountain roses have nothing to do with roses.
