[It's certainly a fun time for Levity as he has to bite back and muffle a scream of pain at the further intrusion into his flesh. But, you know, it's for the greater good!
It's also a good thing that Hope is essentially dead, because the flower doesn't seem to take an interest in her. A vine still reaches out to trace against her hand as it grows and as she sinks the knife in, but does not try to burrow into her flesh, instead dropping down onto Levity's skin and crawling forward, finding new terrain to plant itself in.
As Hope cuts into and peels away Levity's skin and muscle, more metal comes into view - thicker roots, tangling among each other, over his ribs, through his flesh. It's a fun little garden! But still not quite the source - but with the direction it's going, it's pretty obvious the source is likely going to be the heart.]
hello i return for horrorgore
