Quotes:

"Their most praised had been of course their towering sunflowers which the economy of Cuy was heavily dependent on. Fields of sunflowers surrounded their bustling town for miles like an endless sea of golden yellow. Now, though, the deathly grasp of blight and frost had choked the life out of those blooms." - Robyn as he gazes out of the window looking down on the courtyard.
