;Plot Summary
While Tress dissects the spore flare she traded from Fort, she thinks about religious services she experienced growing up, and the diverse answers to the meaning of life. "If religion couldn’t get it together, then she could be forgiven for being a mess herself." Her new friends were alight with different things.
She reassembles the flare so it will release water instead of sunlight, with a thought of trapping Crow the way one traps a ship. She puzzles over how to test it, though, and looks sad. Huck tells her she is good and smart and will make it. The reason she's sad is because if she succeeds, Crow will die from the infestation. She knows Crow isn't deserving of sympathy but can't help it.
She starts playing with one of the little vine fuses, and finds she is able to attract it and guide it into shapes, almost like with her connection to the midnight essence. She's driven in some sense by saving Charlie, but she realizes this is a goal, not a purpose. She think of her cups, but they only remain her thing because the remind her of Charlie. As she nurtures the little vine, she contemplates whether spores are fearsome of misunderstood.
