A decisive, life-ending event had occurred on the leaf, and the plant was fooling itself if it believed that simply wiping the slate clean, as it were, would make everything ok.

Lets ignore the fact its normally permanently attached to it's branch, would sort of nightlife would a leaf persue? Hit the clubs and dance the night away? Go to a heavy metal concert and stem-bang?
