Lilac page with branching narrative snippet: "Narrator: This trick did not last long but Old Wasp became specialized in the growing of plants that would mutilate the Earth-Human Bee connection and leave it spiritually hollow. Narrator: He started down this path after his father told him that no matter how hard they tried to sabotage and oppress the Human Bees, they still remained cheerful and friendly to one another when they had things that lifted their spirits like music, comedy, dance, festivities, and culture. It was the spirit that remained, his father explained. Narrator: From then on, Old Wasp took on the mantle to discover how to render the Human Bees spiritually hollow, hopeless and without cheer. The scene changed. Peak ‘Hollowing’ - Old Wasp’s Dominance The ‘One Hive Theorem’"

Good thing Drafft makes taming it a breeze!
