Just finished reading this— What a blast! Thank you for linking it :)
The way the author links trees to sapping vitality, this greedy, primordial desire for more regardless of the consequences made everything click so wonderfully. A real galaxy_brain.gif moment there, haha. It's very rare to see trees portrayed in such a sinister light like this, now that I think about it; to see them as taking instead of giving. Another motif to file away and gnaw over obsessively, heheheh.
