you said there's no reading too much into Look Homeward, so I looked up Asters in my book about the meanings/symbolism/mythology of flowers and it says a few different things, but one of them was that "An ointment made of asters was thought to cure the bite of a mad dog."
Which seems rather interestingly coincidental since A2 is very dog coded and a serial killer 👀
not one of the dots that i had originally, but hell yeah thats beautiful, lets add that to the lore
