tbh i dont really consider those humans because they did not try to colonize the world, set up factories, harvest the natural resources, place the plant in a ‘reservation’, and maximize their profit while attempting to maintain control of those under them. On the wiki i didn’t even notice the concept of profit at all. Beside the nonbelievable humans pretty nice story tho.

tho i’ve always believed a world in perfect harmony should still be able to defend itself from unknown future events if required and it seems the plant did not adequately invest resources in growing this path.

overall, were I a dark forest entity, I would not eat the plant because it seems to be stably on it’s own world, refining it in to perfection; not a species that wrecks it’s own world while with a drive to spread to other worlds infinitely.
