Oh fuck yeah also Date and Acai burned the commune down, I guess that’s important to mention. Yeah uh full fruit cult saga update here we go:

It was a cult the whole time oops sry. So Apple was doing cannibalism which was a lot of members last straw ig (doesn’t make sense to me tbh ohhh ok kidnapping and tormenting Mormons is fine tho?? Hypocrites) so everyone started leaving - oh before that Apple stabbed Lemon. Then Date locked Apple in the attic and left her to die before setting the commune on fire. Mulberry didn’t make it out cause their leg was still wounded from the sword fight with Lemon. Luci and Fig had a little cat fight it was super hot - and Fig got Luci to admit that she was using Apple. Apple is devastated. And oh also she jumped out of the window and Acai ran over her with a car so her legs are suuuuper fucked now. She’s in the hospital. Annnd Sprite Cranberry is checking into a mental hospital.

Is that it? Did I get everything?

Someone is going to pay for this. Traitors and liars, the lot of you. The Tree is not pleased ..,
