Something like that. See, the favour he asked about was to help "relieve the tree of its burdens." I'm sure you noticed, but it's getting pretty big, right? Like we're trying to fit too many souls into one container, but we don't want to just go trimming them off carelessly either, y'know?
( pause for emphasis... )
So when you got that sapling, I thought, what if there were more?
( pushing himself up from the chair, he starts pacing, clearly feeling restless at the possibility. )
It's pretty simple actually, but I remember hearing that you can grow a new plant if you take a cutting from an old one. If we're careful, maybe we can do the same thing with the wisteria tree — removing cuttings from it to plant into new trees, so that the weight of those souls isn't all concentrated in one.
( and he smiles here, offering a shrug. )
Might be more comfortable for those in it, too. Seems like it's a bit of a crowded flat the way it is right now.
( sitting up straight now, he makes to get up from his seat at last, expression bright and warm. )
I'll catch up with you later and we can chat about the details. If it's something Kazuki-san is up for, I might get some help too, since we'll need to put some work into making sure we can properly care for them.

I see! That is quite a thoughtful idea. It sounds like it should logically work! The two wisteria trees, sharing a burden...
[It does add some pressure, knowing that the sapling he'll care for will contain actual human souls. But he's ready to be responsible.]
This idea certainly has my support! We can tell Kazuki-san about it and see what he thinks!
