"Mind reading this for me?"

"What is it?"

"Oh, just a little story of mine."

"Hm. I'll take a look."

_

"It doesn't feel right."

"What do you mean?"

"Some things just don't make any sense."

"....Ok, let's be a little more specific here, mmkay?"

"Alright... Here. let me draw you a picture. let's take a walk shall we?"

"Sure."

/

"Right here."

"Hm? Are we stopping?"

"Mhm."

"Why now?"

"Look over there."

"Huh? A sapling? What does that have to do with anything?"

"Come here, Sit with me. I'll explain."

"Sigh... you and your over-the-top explanations..."

"There are millions of other saplings like this one in the world. So many variations. Birch, maple, redwood, oak—"

"I get it. There are thousands of tree species. Can you get to the point?"

"I— Hm. I don't know where I was going with this analogy."

"Pfff... Do you need more time to think?"

"Hmph, let me put it a different way."

"That's fine. Go ahead."

"You can treat your story like a sapling. Like all living things, it'll need the correct resources so it can grow and flourish. However, if you're too hasty, you might give it unnecessary, or even contaminated resources. With enough of that sludge, your little sapling will slowly wilt and eventually, die ."

"What happened to getting to the point?"

"Ugh, just let me finish."

"Alright, alright."

"...Be careful of what you give to your little sapling."

"Couldn't you have just started with that?"

"Nope."

"......So, what do you do if already gave some sludge to your plant?"

"Watch it carefully, disease doesn't spread instantly. It always has to start at a point. You'll have to prevent the disease from spreading."

"...What do you reckon I should do if some parts are already damaged?"

"Cut it off. Nip it in the bud as they say."

"I-I don't know... what if they don't like it?"

"That's not for me to decide. Besides... you can always just start again at the cutting point."

"Hmm, Alright. I'll trust your judgement."
