Probably because the killers aren't doing it voluntarily.

... Except Caiman, I don't know what the case is with him.

[branches]

I mean he doesn't even remember doing it. I think there's something like, messed up with his head.

[shaft]

Yeah, he...

I wish that there was a way to help him. He's prisoner to his own mind.

[branches]

[Dryly;]

Maybe we should give him another autopsy.

[shaft]

[ He snorts. ]

I think that would just kill him.

[branches]

I mean.... After tomorrow he'll be...

[Already dead.]

[shaft]

... Yeah.

Do you care?

[branches]

.... [Tch.]

It's not like we were friends or anything, but... I feel a little bad for him.

[shaft]

Ohh, so you do care about people.

[ teasing ]

[branches]

[PUFFS UP!!!]

Wh-
[HE CAN'T DENY IT BC OBVIOUSLY HE DOES BUT ALSO HE CAN'T SAY YES BECAUSE TSUNDERE???]

Who wants to know???

[shaft]

It was a statement, not a question.

[ so cute... ]

[branches]

[STOP OR I'LL AGE CLAUDE BY DADZONING HIM FOR REAL!!!]

Hmph. Think whatever you want.
[HE ADMITS NOTHING!!!]

It's my job to protect my forest, so.
[It's just instinct for him to Care.]

[shaft]

Are we...? Your forest in this situation?

[branches]

N-no! I'm just saying it's my nature to protect!! And my forest isn't here, so I'd have nothing else to do otherwise!

[shaft]

If I were a tree, which one would I be? I think I'd be a pine.

[ just totally ignoring his protests ]

[branches]

I guess you could be? A kuromatsu pine. It's a coastal plant so it's resistant to a lot of common contagions. And it helps protect the coastline.

[shaft]

[ his treesona... ]

Oh, that's a good fit! I'm from a coastal city back in Fódlan after all.

[branches]

[Oh my god it is treesona.......]

You'll have to fight Mabel for Pine supremacy, I guess.

[shaft]

[ he can take her ]

What type of tree were you, by the way?

[branches]

A gingko. I'm not on the coast like you.

[shaft]

I've never heard of that breed. [ ... ] You also didn't look like any tree I've ever seen.

[branches]

[BREED OF TREE....]

Well my tree is separate? Obviously this part of me isn't going to look like a tree? I'm a tree spirit, not just a tree.

[shaft]

So you've always had this little body?

[branches]

[OFFENDED.]

Wh-who said it's little!? I'm still growing!

[shaft]

Are you...?
