"That's pretty amazing if you ask me. Even something like grass has to come from somewhere." Now Kinger is curious about this. "Can you do it anywhere, like on the beach?"

Research is a good way to pass the time through the forest, at least!

basing this off of how it's a temporary effect in the games (1/2)

"Yeah, though it doesn't seem to last... maybe it's like if you tried planting grass in an environment that's hostile to it."

It's nice to bounce her ideas off of him. He reminds her of a teacher. She really is a nerd to be missing school, isn't she?

She would love to talk about research with him longer--

-- but that's when they break through into the clearing hosting the Forest's Heart.

It's larger than any tree they had in Hometown. It feels wrong to even try comparing it to anything from her world, sheltered as her perspective was; the thing defies logical understanding. It should be a tree, simple plantlife, but it pulses like a heart. Her heart starts pounding in sync, as if surrendering to it.

Minutes feel like hours. Her eyes actively resist looking at anything else nearby except for the Forest's Heart. Noelle's knees buckle and she struggles to remain conscious.
