    Summary

    “Why is it upside down?” Glinda asks when she sees the tattoo.

    When Elphaba raises into her stance, she points at her bent knee and looks up at Glinda.

    “It’s not upside down - I am,” she explains. “It’s the last thing I see before the gun goes off. You’re the last thing I think about before the gun goes off.”

    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.
