Spring Forest | Healing Center

Julian can accept, becoming a living tree, feeling the rain on his bark for a thousand years as a sentient ecosystem—but saving 47 innocent people. Or he can burn the Central Root with a stolen accelerant, freeing the stored pain in a catastrophic wave that will inflict every cancer, every panic attack, and every broken bone back onto the patients simultaneously. Some would die. Others would be re-traumatized. But the forest would die, and no one else would ever be turned into a Warden.
