It went to the “branch” office to reflect.

Read between the lines Phil, she’s telling you that you are too clingy.

Just pick another tree Phil. There’re plenty of them to choose from.

She used her own skin for that letter!

She’s had her fill of Phil.

Wow. This is really serious for a tree – to pull up roots and leave(s).

P.S. I know there are many other trees in the forest. Maybe you can find one that can fulfill your needs better than I could.

P.P.S … and Oh … don’t follow that trail of soil.

I’ve had my phill of you, leaf me alone. I decid… you… us… are not to be.

err… wait what? hhh, how?

Can’t just go round huggin trees and not expect them to react..

Did the tree make its own paper?

Did she just up and leave?

Fake note! This tree was kidnapped by a lumberjack.

If a tree uproots himself and runs away in the woods, would anyone know about it?

What the tree was really mad about you was that you used to bring your dog along with ya.

Hoooom. Don’t be hasty

That’s the Ent of that relationship.

He’s decided to branch out and leave….

“THE Tree”? As if there weren’t a whole bunch more around?

“With you, I used to feel like the only tree in the forest.

When I saw you hugging other trees … "

Well, was-ENT that a short lived relationship.

She decided that relationship was for the birds.
