One day they come across a video of people in the forest who believe that if they stand still for long enough they will transform into trees. The idea is absurd. But it’s spreading. Soon, people start to go missing and trees appear in unlikely places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs cities decay and the world becomes greener, Caelyn becomes more and more convinced that arborescence is exactly what will save the planet from human destruction.
