After a brief pause,
the particle wisteria on the same side of the tree begins to change.
From the lower ends of the wisteria streams,
new particles ignite softly, like distant fireworks.
They bloom outward for a moment,
then curve upward.
The motion is not falling.
It is rising.
The particles travel upward along invisible paths,
leaving long, glowing trails behind them.
Each trail lingers in the air,
slowly fading as new particles follow.
As the upward flow continues,
the lowest portions of the wisteria thin out.
Not by cutting,
but as if their energy is being drawn back toward the tree.
The longer trails are gradually pulled upward,
their ends dissolving into light.
The movement feels like slow inhalation.
Brightness gently decreases.
Particle density becomes more focused.
The overall flow turns vertical,
directed toward the branches.
The wisteria no longer grows downward.
It quietly ascends,
gathering itself back into form.
