    Summary

    It is okay because it was his hands that pushed the spell onto Qifrey, and it is his hands that draw Qifrey's hand out of the tree's growing mesh now, and it is his hands that make Qifrey's hand hold the spell over his own head, absolving Qifrey of all the sin the act entails — but in the end he cannot be the one to cast the spell, not if he wants this to work.

    Or, about what happens after chapter 92 as seen through Olruggio's perspective.

    Summary

    “You can touch, y'know.” Qifrey feels Olruggio's breath on his hand, and he wonders if his friend can feel the way his pulse jumps beneath his fingertips.

    “Ah, but—” My hands. Qifrey wants to tell him no. These hands have only ever hurt you.

    (Or—Qifrey wakes up curse-free and blind. He's not fine, but Olruggio is there, so it's going to be okay—they have the rest of their lives to work through it together, after all.)

    Summary

    No, that… that can't be it. If it's been here, like this, the whole time, she would've known. She would've understood. She would've…

    Wouldn't she?

    ---

    Rumi is still figuring out how to live in a world where she isn't constantly under pressure... and, as it turns out, safety comes with processing. And processing comes with mental breakdowns and triggers she had no idea existed.
