Leggy growth, stretching, staking, low light

Why they're like this

Left column is the character. Right column is the plant. They are the same column.

The bit

What they say

“There's a windowsill upstairs. I've heard about it. I'm going to get there. I just need somebody to hold me up.”

The botany

Why it's actually true

Cane begonias etiolate — they grow tall and leggy stretching toward light they can't reach, over-extend, and need staking. Angel-wing leaves do the rest.

  • No questions answered yet. This is where the corrections go, one per answer, always in base ink.
  • The box is the Management speaking. It never jokes, never hedges, and is never voiced aloud.

Who they can't avoid

Same room. No exits.
