Hawthorn Tree: The hawthorn tree is not an inanimate object, it is a living thing. The thunk against the bark echoes with discontent.
53
Physical Instrument: At first the destructive urge felt exhilarating, as if it added something to your persona... but the feeling swiftly receded, leaving you with a sad emptiness.
29->53

Inland Empire: Keep an eye on these trees. They're up to no good.
49
Hawthorn Tree: The tree looks by, in silence. No doubt plotting its next move against humanity. The bronze-coloured tape twists around its branches.

106
Pain Threshold: Yes, your pain is real. The pain of a tree is mute and base and uninteresting.
35->106
36
Inland Empire: Trees likely do not understand the concept of fairness. Better watch your back from now on...

81->120

Hawthorn Tree: Patting the tree reveals a small sticker which has almost been worn to oblivion. It reads: "RCM Emergencies Desk No. 8-100-2". Underneath, a slogan: "Mankind, be vigilant!"
