[pointe shoes are tip-tapping through your subconscious]

[tsunbyknight]

... No.

[pas_de_duck]

[her arms are a cradle, folding in on nothing]

Poor hearts.

[tsunbyknight]

[takes in a deep shuddering breath]

Finally, the kingdom was saved and the knight could no longer hide the truth. ...She cried then, "Didn't you say you love me? Can't you stay even if you don't?". But the knight remained steadfast.

Then the princess's heart grew cold. It became colder and colder until she was no longer a princess, but a witch.

[her port de bras breaks, back arched so far she looks like a doll with her strings cut]

And the knight?

[tsunbyknight]

The knight banded his friends together to defeat the witch. And they did. They sealed her. But the knight lost his friends, no his family in the battle. His family paid for his mistake.

[pas_de_duck]

You couldn't have known the ending to that story.

[tsunbyknight]

And that absolves me of guilt? Don't give me that!

[pas_de_duck]

[spreads her hands]

No, I can't do that. Guilt is the feeling that you should have known better, isn't it?

[tsunbyknight]

It doesn't change what happened!

[pas_de_duck]

I know.

[tsunbyknight]

Tch.

[pas_de_duck]

Where is your family now?

[tsunbyknight]

They're back in Leafenia.

[pas_de_duck]

And she . . ?

[tsunbyknight]

I told you, didn't I? She'll sleep forever.
