^ It's a reference to a tradition in a certain Japanese all girls schools where every year, there is an event where students go around in pairs clipping flowers to decorate the school with. The pairs must be students from different years, and the younger is supposed to present a pair of silver scissors to the elder, and if the elder agrees to participate in the event with the younger, she will give the younger a pair of gold scissors. It is rumored that sometimes the pairs commit hand holding during the event, and may even become lifelong friends.
