Pale green shoots thickened visibly after the feed was applied, but instead of reaching outward, they twisted back on themselves, forming tight clusters along the trellis.

The vines didn't merely *use* what was given; they wove it into their existing structure, disclosing subtle shifts in form that suggested systems responding to more than just nourishment, and for a moment, the garden held its breath as the new shapes settled.
