Sunflower
The Drooping Sunflower
Facing the sun all the time gets... a little tiring, too.
By Katsuki Mitsumori
Profile
A bright flower that always follows the sun—or so it should be, but it chased too hard, wore out its neck, and hung its head. At the flower's center is a tiny sleeping face, and it sheds its black petals one by one. It appears beside those crushed by the pressure to 'stay positive,' and hangs its head with you, just for a little while. A flower that teaches you it's fine not to force a smile.
Relationships with other curses
A flower painted with all his heart by 片耳の絵描きThe One-Eared Painter, whom it adores as its 'father.' It deeply agrees with the 'don't try so hard' of 虚無大神Meh, the Great.
How to deal with this curse
Sunflower embodies the everyday frustration of "masterpieces." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a completely private place to do exactly that.
