>What's down the other fork?

You made a left at the end of the main hall to find "Rocky" and Fleagood's office, so you backtrack and try the right path...


The room is dominated by a tree-like mass of bandages. Little knots of gauze flit around it like butterflies and thankfully appear to be ignoring you.

Some sort of cardboard cut-out is caught in the upper branches, and ISAAC appears to find it interesting.
ISAAC:

Blehblehhblepp! Argarble fmarbd!!!



FERN:

Uh huh... Willis, any idea what this thing is?


WILLIS:

DUHHHHH, it's a tree, Fern!


ISAAC:

OOMF dyenmpf! Plablablapt.

Nyemmmm.


Isaac waves his eyestalk up at the tree.
FERN:

...Wrapped up in gauze?


WILLIS:

Where'd you think gauze came from?!

It shouldn't oughta be here, though...


FERN:

How's that?


WILLIS:

Gardenia said trees belong out in the hospital's wild parts because they attract aminals.


FERN:

Right, right, the hospital's wilderness. Obviously.

What about those flying things?


WILLIS:

Mom thinks they're gross cause they get stuck in her a lot, but they don't hurt nothin'.
