I used to think pruning the buds like this was cruel, too.

*gwrwrwr*

But maybe feeling like that was selfish in its own way.

I mean, however beautiful a flower might be...

It's not like it's blooming just for me.

Oh well! No sense worrying over that now.

Oh! They do say autumn is the season of appetite.

Come to think of it, I haven't eaten any humans since I came here and started living by that rule...

Eh, I'm fine with it, though.
