[ buuuut they really can't do much to keep you from getting any closer, besides, of course, the occasional smack, so if you've got the health to spare, or you just don't care, then you'll have no trouble getting up closer & personal with the gems. if you stare into one of them long enough it's possible to see snippets of a memory involving you and d.va. something as mundane as a casual conversation to something as intimate as a sexual encounter. anything and everything is here, though the majority do seem to be ~*~fun~*~ stuff, like most notably... cuddling with king on the beach, horseback riding with hiryuu, cat play dates with duality, amusement park thrill-seeking with k, the constant back&forth fighting for supremacy with intensity, and reading & discussing poetry with raven. ]
[ on even closer inspection, when the gems aren't distracting you, it'll be possible to see a number of them are lousy with cracks and on the verge of shattering ]
He shoves his way through the foliage more viciously than is warranted, defensive and on edge. And he has full HP, so-- he soldiers on until he's just at the base of the tree peering into the stones.
He takes a moment there, considering the intact gems and the soft memories inside . . . but then he moves on to peer into one of the cracked ones. ]
[ he'll see her failing to save him in the house. running off when she couldn't control her idiot monster self. pretty much any time she's thought she's fucked up... AND THERE ARE A GOOD NUMBER OF THEM, even if perhaps some don't warrant it. ]
[ the gem seems to glow more brilliantly, and if it's a cracked gem, it gets fixed. he'll also be able to feel the tree... beating..? or is that a heart. very peculiar. ]
[ That would be gladdening if he didn't absolutely hate the concept of trees and hearts together.
He even snatches his hand back on instinct before taking a deep, steeling breath . . . and then placing his hands on the other broken gems, one at a time. ]
[ so he can absolutely heal all the gems, which seems to have a negative effect on the tree. he'll probably be happy about that. the more gems he heals the faster the beating gets, which starts to break the wretched thing apart. ]
[ ...aw, king, that's so sweet ♥ and seems to stir the place to start giving life that isn't so terrible. normal flowers begin to bloom, replacing all of the strange and twisted ones. ]

He kind of wants to kill everything in this place at this point.
Die.
(He has the good sense to move back from the tree as it writhes, though) ]

It's time to wake up from this nightmare of yours, D.Va.

He's removing them all one by one and arranging them in a circle away from the tree, closer to a patch of flowers.
. . . And then he re-arranges the circle to be in her trademark bunny pattern instead. ]

He might also take a seat next to the gems when he's done to indulge in one brief, quiet moment of distress at-- all of this.
Y'know, before all hell breaks loose. ]
