The ficus is too late. There us already a plant that makes humans docile.

Intriguing piece. My first question as Sherlock Holmes would be: who brought the plants to the office.. or, who were the plants supporting..

From my perspective, I view the plants as artificial intelligence. A year ago, I ran a short experiment with a story. The story was set in a forest where the plants communicated using electronic sounds. This is why I am taking this view.

This thought-provoking idea prompts me to reflect on autonomy vs dependency. I am curious about many things, especially the limits between humans and these entities called "plants."

Can't wait for the next episode!

Nicely done, although creepy.
