To sever ties with the woods and Ysengrin. It was explained in a later strip.

[Eduren]

I though the cherries were drugged or something too. And I get your point Jackrabbit, it just would have been better if it wasn't so sudden and jarring (possibly at a better moment too. Makes you wonder why that tree was locked up in the first place).

It was explained in a later chapter. Its a decontamination room of sorts for enchanted trees that come from the forest. You might be able to connect that to the cherries being more powerful, but I think that the scene is okay as it is.

[lordnincompoop]

I know about the decontamination room bit, but I wondered what powers that tree in particular has. Powers of "OhmygodIhavetoconfessmydeepestsecretstoyourightnow"?

And wasn't the court sever bit only for the hand tree?

[Zangi]

Ah, the cherry tree scene, it was a what-the-hell moment.

Waterworks came out of nowhere for all I knew.

[Urist Imiknorris]

And wasn't the court sever bit only for the hand tree?

Nope, it was for any plant life sourced from the forest.

Yeah, you'd assume it was because of the mother, but then later you find out it's much, much more.

[Cheddarius]

Wait, was it because

No:

She was forced to take her mother by the hand (her mother who she knew was dead) and lead her out of her life and into the next. She essentially had to help her mother leave her, forever. Imagine realizing your mother is dead and then realizing you have to help her leave you?

I think it had something to do with being a medium, no idea why.

Living in a hospital for much of your life would have its own issues.

[Cheddarius]

Oh.
But I still don't understand why she was suddenly crying at that exact moment. It was pretty unexpected.

[Jackrabbit]

I don't think she had set a date and time for her repressed emotions to overwhelm her. These things happen, and happen astonishingly abruptly.

[Cheddarius]

Ah.

[Jackrabbit]

It was the intention of the author that it be abrupt, basically.

I feel fairly confident in this assumption. Also Jones is a time-traveler from the early 18th century with mutant superpowers. That is another assumption I feel reasonably confident with.

If Zimmy is really Annie,
