Owen Bertram returned to the backyard, unlocked the Array he had set up. After months of being nourished by the Gold Soil, his ferns must have grown lush and umbrella-like.
Then the revered Lord stood in the backyard, scratching his head, "Is it that ferns naturally grow this slow?"

Upon closer inspection, he noticed multiple leaves had been plucked from the branches of the fern, leaving many gaps.
