At first Rei had only suspected something was going on. But as the staff greeted them and her favorite flowers were sitting on the table, it went from a suspicion to a full blown certainty.

Nice and neat, Ami had to know Rei was working out something, mental gears turning. A trap for a curious mind, from a curious mind.
