EXCUSE ME ARE YOU TELLING ME QIFREY HAS SOME FUCKED UP EQUIVALENT OF HANAHAKI DISEASE WHERE HE HAS TO CONSTANTLY FEEL SOME DEGREE OF ANXIOUS TO NOT BECOME A TREE????
I AM SCREAMING
Also Olruggio's solution to help Qifrey is so fucked up and tragic omfg. AND THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS CYCLE MULTIPLE TIMES???!!
(although I actually find it quite hilarious/genius that caring for children does create juuuuust enough constant fear and worry to stave off the tree transforming, even if Qifrey has ironically found his sanctuary and true calling through his so-called "selfishness").
