There's an apple tree growing where the bookstore was. A sapling.

Did someone plant it last night? They couldn't have, not with the Guard there. And there's no way it could have just grown that fast.

I don't think anyone should touch it.

But we were looking for apples, I thought! Is this not a good thing?

[feathered_earth]

Real apples are fine. But if that tree grows any, I wouldn't eat them.

[spandexisyouth]

The tree grows FAKE APPLES? That is NOT RIGHT.

The tree we live in doesn't grow apples; it's an oak. The little tree where the bookstore used to be will grow apples if it stays there. But it's unnatural.

The oak tree is an apple tree that was a bookstore that should not grow apples. I think I am missing something.

[feathered_earth]

The oak tree is the tree we live in.

The bookstore was destroyed last night. Now there's a small apple tree growing in the spot where it was. And it should be avoided.

But what if we are supposed to look under the small apple tree? The mysterious writing said to look under things, that looking at them would not solve things.

[feathered_earth]

No... it's not right.

[spandexisyouth]

So we should let the tree alone and wait to see what might happen? That does not seem very efficient, but perhaps it is safer.
