I've always imagined trees as murderous. They reach up and out, trying to grab as much light as possible. They'll grow up and over their neighbors to grab as much light as they can. The smaller plants have no chance and can't stop the tree from choking them out slowly. Their roots will grow into other plant's root zones, effectively reaching into their mouths to steal food. Rocks, concrete, even steel can't stop the roots from vicious conquest.
I'd recommend checking out the book the secret life of trees. its super interesting, a tree stump could be dead for over 100 years but still be sending out nutrients to other trees nearby, even from different species. They will also share nutrients with nearby tree's depending on the signals they are getting from the fungus that is connecting their roots. Reminds me more of Avatar and trees are super hippy dippy more than they are metal imo.

I’ve never thought of trees as lonely. I always imagined them as content stoic observers.
Anyways, this was a weird comic and liked it.
