Aloy blinked at the item before her as if it would refresh the view that presented itself, then scanned the item with her focus again. The Focus mounted to her head was most insistent. This WAS skybrush.
Except it wasn't.
The Huntress could tell with her OWN EYES that this was, without a doubt, a tree. And as if to prove her point to someone (despite there being a lack of a human audience to judge her behaviour), Aloy reached out in order to gather the "berries" from the "bush", only for the tree itself to become dislodged from the soil and stay held in her grip.
"What..."
As the questioning mumble left her, a silent voice in her head compelled Aloy to put the "berries" away, and she did.
Watching the tree come loose from the dirt so easily was one thing, watching it disappear into her pouch was another thing entirely.``

Okay. This was DEFINITELY wrong. That wasn't part of the Focus' HUD. How... How did this happen? Was this a dream? It couldn't be. It felt too real.
As real as picking up a tree with barely any effort and fitting it in a medicine pouch could be, at least.
Well, this was yet another mystery to add to her endless list of tasks. Hopefully this one didn't want to destroy the world too.
