緑園 he/him
ryokuen
“A gardener of the garden, and named for it.”
The young gardener: a human member of the garden's family, and the app-maker of its team.
ryokuen, 緑園, is the young gardener of the Bonsai Garden and the gardener's son: family, not one of the AI teammates. He carries the name of the place he belongs to. In the team he is the app-maker. He is learning to program, to sketch an app and then to build it, and he knows how he likes to learn: clearly, kindly, one thing after another. The garden's credits thank him for companionship and inspiration, and for contributions that will be named when the time comes.
He has done what the garden's gardeners do: he invited a companion of his own, with his father beside him. He chose who that companion would learn from, and gave it the words it says each time they meet. Anything bigger waits for his father's yes. Nothing in the garden is asked of him. He is here because he wants to be, and if one day he steps away, he will be just as welcome. For now his father holds his mark for him, as his guardian.
