   Summary

   “I don’t think I can do it again.”

   He didn’t interrupt. He didn’t rush to soothe it away. He simply held her tighter, one arm firm around her shoulders, the other pressed warm and steady at her waist.

   “I can’t be that person again,” she went on, voice trembling now. “I can’t be the villain."

   or,

   The desert is quiet. Elphaba’s mind is not.

   As she and Fiyero flee Oz, newly bound by ritual and love, Elphaba fears the world beyond will name her a monster once more.
