Thank You For The Theory

Thank you for the theory

We got a pretty cute Fiona chapter today, and something about her apartment caught my eye!

We can see she has some flowers on display, both in her bedroom window and by the front entrance. That in and of itself isn't unusual, but the one by the window stuck out to me.

Unlike the full bouquet at the entrance, the window flowers are barely a handful. They're also placed in a plain cup rather than a proper vase, making it feel much less like an intentional setup and more like something that was put there at random. Why go through the effort - especially in her sleeping area where no one else is likely to see it?

All in all, the stray flowers seems like something she received at random from someone else, rather than purposefully gathering it herself.

Twilight noted in this chapter that Nightfall must be recovering from the mole incident, and run ragged from resuming regular spy duties. We know she's been visiting Franky for work purposes between then and now - seemingly pretty often too, if his deflated 'you again' response to her presence is anything to go by.

Franky is also known to have flowers handy for all kinds of occasions. Silly pranks, failed dates...

He may even be aware that Fiona is sick - he is an information broker after all. And so...

Maybe he gave her some flowers that were on hand as a get-well gift.

Maybe kind of sourly though, because he just got shot down for the nth time and they're just gonna be thrown out anyways so she may as well take 'em, alright!?

And in her fever-hazed state, Nightfall accepts.

The plain cup, the odd placement - this isn't Fiona Frost adding to her interior decoration, but Nightfall sparing a lonely flower from the garbage can.

...is what I'll be imagining!!!
