| Koohii Story 1 | "A lotus can either be a flower, or else something that takes you along (the car make)." |
| Koohii Story 2 | "Way too easy! Lotus, as in the really expensive, fast car. Whenever I want to take someone somewhere (連れる）, I make sure to rent a Lotus so that I can arrive to pick them up in style. I'm a great customer of the local car rental shop, so they always make sure to give me a flower when I pick up my Lotus." |
