I know its not about this, but I feel like its about a boy and his mother. The boy's sister has just committed suicide, and no one knows why, so obviously the boy and his mother are upset. The sister is the only one who knows that the boy is transgender, and wants to be a girl, and the boy does not know if he should tell his mother, as he doesn't want her to feel like he's taking his sister's place, and stealing a flower, as in stealing her feminine identity. In the end though, he chooses the flower, as he knows that's what his sister would want.
