In Chapter 2, Viewfinder gives players a sapling that they must take care of. The Tomodatchi in Viewfinder has three buttons: Music, Sun, and Water. They must press the buttons in this order: Water, Sun, and Music, and repeat this process several times. The plant will continue to grow as players repeatedly press this sequence of numbers.

In total, the flower has five growth stages, and when it reaches its final stage and the flower blooms, players must continue to play the sequence one last time to attract the bee and unlock the achievement.
