    Summary

    After a lifetime of neglect and ostracization, Elphaba is not what you would call 'good at being close to people.' When Galinda notices her new best friend flinches from every touch, she proposes an experiment: exposure therapy, a way to start small and escalate as Elphaba's comfort with herself and others grows. But what starts as an exercise in psychology might just prove the be the basis of something more.

    Summary

    Elphaba thinks: No more incidents. No more of this, this thing in her life that causes incidents. She’s done. She did that, and it ruined her life several times over, and now she’s done. Fresh start. New leaf. Clean slate.

    No more vampire slaying.
