Mnemonic

After the kill though, you didn't feel so good, and you had to sats (さつ) down. Woah, I mean sat... sats? Uh oh. Something is happening to you. You sats down but your brain is all funny and you can't get up again.

Hints

You sats down after killing the tree because now the tree is getting its revenge and killing you back. Was there poison in the tree? And where is the treasure that was up there?!
