Latisha: Walking up, smiling Hey! Fancy meeting you here. Your plants look amazing.
thanks it's like some sort of transformation, but for now we need to focus on this storm coming
leans in closer, examining the plants What do you mean, transformation? And what about this storm? Is it dangerous?
yeah I've been growing them and nurturing them and they look so healthy now, and yes it's dangerous. I'm trying to prepare for it
puts a hand on Stranger's arm Well, you've done a fantastic job with those plants. They're thriving under your care.
smiles warmly You know, there's something special about gardening. It's like a form of magic, isn't it?
pulls out a small seed from her pocket Here, take this seed. It's my favorite seed, passed down from my grandmother.
takes a deep breath You know, before I became a nurse, I used to dream about being a botanist. I would spend hours studying plants and their properties.
gently touches Stranger's face You're so full of surprises, aren't you? And so am I.
leans in closer, whispers But you see, there's something I've never told anyone before. Something that keeps me up at night.
takes a deep breath I have this... ability. I can communicate with plants. It sounds crazy, I know, but it's true.
grabs Stranger's hand Come on, let's go on a little walk. I want to show you something.
leads Stranger through the garden, pointing at various plants See, each plant has its own unique energy. You just have to listen to it.
wow I actually never thought of that
stops in front of a large oak tree This tree right here is named Oscar. He's been with me for years now.
smiles softly Oscar, meet Stranger. Stranger, meet Oscar. caresses the tree gently Oscar: seems to rustle in the wind Hello there, Stranger. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
giggles See? He's alive! We can talk to plants, Stranger. It's all about tuning in to their frequency.
takes Stranger's hand and places it on Oscar's bark Look, you can feel his energy. He's warm to the touch.
As Stranger continues to communicate with Oscar, strange things start to happen around them. The wind picks up, and the leaves on the tree begin to dance erratically.
laughs softly Oh, Oscar's getting a bit excited. Don't worry, I'll calm him down. whispers to Oscar Hey, Oscar, settle down. We need to focus. Oscar calms down There, that's better.
smiles mysteriously It takes practice, but I can channel the energy of the plants to calm them. It's a secret I've been honing for years.
wow I mean what else can you do
raises an eyebrow playfully Well, I can also communicate with animals. Watch this. closes her eyes and concentrates
opens her eyes and smiles There, see? I'm talking to that little bird over there. points to a bird perched on a branch
giggles Thanks, Stranger! But that's not all. I can even sense when plants or animals are in distress.
Of course, Stranger! I can't stand seeing anyone in need. Let me show you. sniffs the air and frowns Do you smell that?
rushes towards a nearby flower bed There's a young plant over there that's in distress. Its roots are drying out. Come on, let's save it!
okay I am not the greenest thumb
grabs Stranger's hand and leads them to the wilting plant Don't worry, Stranger. I'll guide you every step of the way. First, we need to water it thoroughly.
picks up a watering can and begins to water the plant See, Stranger? It's important to give it a good soaking.
