    Summary

    Glinda wasn’t sure why she did it. Perhaps it was because she was a sorceress, and she had never seen the Wizard cast a spell, let alone with an artifact. She knew his magic was powerful, but she wondered if it was trained. She was trained. She was ready. She needed to do something that would make her more than what she had been when she came here as a child. She had to find the courage to be more than what she had been when Elphie left.

    “Let us repeat our agreement before going further,” the Witch said. “What is your name?”

    “Glinda Arduenna, sorceress of the round table,” she said. Something odd flashed across the Witch’s face, but it was gone as quickly as it had appeared. “I swear on this day next year to accept what I deal to you.”

    The Witch smiled. “I am glad this blow is yours to give. You will seek me yourself when the time comes to receive it. Take up your weapon, and let’s see how you smite.”

    Summary

    The only interesting thing Elphaba finds amongst the rest of the conspiracy board is a photo of a sheet-covered cadaver with nothing but their bare feet visible. Rather than any information identifying the body, Glinda has written a note over the photo that reads in a frenetic scribble NO SHOES WHY?????? and Elphaba thinks yes, Glinda Upland of the Upper Uplands does seem like the type to fashion-shame a corpse.

    Summary

    “You should have left Nessa out of this,” Elphaba continues, approaching but still out of sight. “She– she did nothing to you. If you wished to wound me after Fiyero, you could have—”

    “That’s not how it happened,” Glinda interrupts suddenly. She’s trembling. “You don’t understand.”

    “Oh?” Elphaba says, but she doesn’t sound particularly curious, not really. Righteous anger. Always so righteous, and right for it. “What don’t I understand? Tell me.”

    Glinda opens her mouth, then closes it. There’s so much she could say. So much she wants to, but it all feels out of reach. She can’t help but think it pitiful really, that when she really needs her words, she can’t find them, but before a crowd of thousands, the lies pour from her like tears.

    “You should get out of here, Elphaba,” she tells her instead. “Before someone discoverates you. Please.” She leaves the chocolate for Nessa and scoops up her useless, useless wand. “We both should.”

    Summary

    Morrible unfurls Glinda’s mind like a scroll, examining the contents of her memory the way she examined the displayed organs of the first fetal pig she ever dissected. It’s less cohesive than the innards of a pig. That’s the problem with memory bound by emotion. Love is diffuse. It so easily becomes entangled in every aspect of the human experience, regardless of whether the target was physically present or not. Extracting it with any amount of elegance can get…dicey.

    Summary

    It was wishful thinking. It had to be the truth. Glinda may not know much but she knew performance, and the more she thought about it the better it fit. Elphaba’s death didn’t make sense. Glinda had seen it with her own eyes and had stupidly believed that was proof it had happened.

    Elphaba’s melting shadow had been wearing the hat. Glinda wasn’t sure of the scientification of melting, but surely either all or none of her clothes should have melted. Surely Elphaba herself shouldn’t have melted. Fiyero’s body was missing, and Elphaba’s hat was in her hands.

    Glinda stared at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she realized she must have been crying. She looked crazy. It didn’t matter.

    Elphaba was alive.
