Winter Trees and Shrubs: Sweetgum
Sweetgum is a distinctive tree at any time of year. It stands out among most other deciduous trees with its excurrent growth habit, which gives it a narrowly conical or pyramidal shape. Only in its advanced age does it begin to develop a more rounded and irregular form. Its leaves are star-shaped with either five or seven lobes and span between four and seven inches. Their glossy green color…

Rosmontis mod X - Record - fan translation
"Outcast, I'm a little concerned. Since Rosmontis returned from the core city of Chernobog, she's completed several missions in an extreme fashion. The human traffickers operating in Milia were despicable, but they should have been turned over to the Minoan police. The original plan was to rescue some stranded Infected children, not to annihilate all villainy."
"Isn't it normal for mission objectives to change over the course of an operation? Pith, you should trust Rosmontis' judgement."
"Did you know? That the surviving eyewitnesses dubbed Rosmontis 'The Calamity of Milia'? Fortunately, the girl herself doesn't remember any of this. Touch said that when she came back to the landship, she'd already forgotten all the details of the mission. Outcast, I'm not sure her brain is capable of processing what she experienced there."
"Not all memories turn into useful experiences; some become heavy burdens instead. Without the bias born of individual ego, and unhampered by the constraints of group consensus, perhaps Rosmontis is more impartial than the rest of us. Like a mirror that can never be clouded, she reflects all around her objectively, right or wrong, good or evil."
"That's why Kal'tsit entrusted her to our guidance. Even if her actions are currently in line with our ethics, Rhodes Island cannot accompany her for the rest of her life. Once we're gone, who will judge the mirror?"
"She's awake now, Pith, so we can ask the girl herself."
Hello, Outcast.
"Hello, Rosmontis."
Are you leaving, Outcast?
"Yes, I'll be heading out to Victoria. Just a routine mission. But Pith is right; I will leave. Kal'tsit, too. We will all leave, one day."
Will Amiya leave, too?
"Perhaps. No one can say for sure what the future holds. Our little judge, our Miss Rosmontis, you'll help us watch over you, won't you?"
Okay, I promise you. I promise everyone: I'll write it all down. All the stories you tell me, too. I won't forget.
I can do it, so you and Pith don't need to worry.
If I go bad one day… No, no matter what I become in the future.
I will record, and I will observe closely.

Pith.
My veins are filled with lemon juice.
Sour.
Acid pulses through me,
It burns holes in my heart.
I can’t be happy for you,
Not if I can’t have it too.
My face will pucker.
Twist.
Into a grimace, your perception of
Congratulations.
I want to drown you
In my misery and sorrow.
I have sea water in my veins.
Salted.
As it rushes through me.
It corrodes my soul.

The white stringy stuff on citrus fruit is called Pith and is really healthy for u to eat. It contains as much Vitamin C as the actual fruit.
