Mnemonic

You also know spring has arrived when you start hallucinating (はる). With all the funky pollens wafting around, it's kind of inevitable that spring will make you hallucinate — it's just part of the season.

Hints

Just picture how lively everything becomes in the springtime, and let yourself be guided by the wonderful sounds, smells and colours. Let yourself enjoy the hallucinations.
