> With our agility restored and our area of pain decreased, carefully venture out into the petals in search of roots.

>You venture out into the storm, and are immediately buffeted with petals from above, right, and ahead. You can kind of glimpse the tree out of the corner of your eye.

>You make your way upward. The storm is a bit less intense here, but there is a problem of a kind of spiral of blossoms making its way down toward you, while other blossoms cut through it from the left and ahead.
