Spoilers ~ Selfless, Brave, and True

[She's pacing- obviously conflicted, confused... you name it.]
Well, Mundane, I suppose that if August was given a chance at redemption, perhaps I will be as well...
...but at what cost? August is basically back to the very beginning of his life..almost as if time was turned back. It seems as if some of his memories have been erased as well. I can't even bear the thought... [Mun is not exactly happy about this arrangement.]

Charming seems to believe that there is some other way to stop the darkness in my heart from spreading- a way that wouldn't cost me the way August's own mistakes cost him.

Just like him to have so much faith in me... [She shakes her head, reaching down to nervously twirl her ring.] I would love to be able to agree with him, but the only way to save August was by use of magic...and you know how magic works. It always comes with a price.

[A deep, lengthy sigh. Oh, the uncertainty. So painful, yet so unshakable.]

(OOC: I know I can't be the only one who's seriously hating on Tamara right now. FORREAL. No more adult August. I just...)

I know what true darkness is like, Mary Margaret. It's manipulative, it lies, and doesn't care who dies in the fight for power.

Your heart isn't like that. You might think so, but I don't believe it.

[Not unless she saw it, OBVIOUSLY. This is Emma we're talking about. But hey, she's learning.]

I will never get over it ;-;

[unvarnished]

Well, maybe going back to the beginning was a price I had to pay, too.

((OOC: THAT WENCH. I was trying so hard to be open-minded about her AND THEN SHE DOES THAT.))

I'm tempted to agree with David. You're not bound to August's fate, Mary Margaret. He was him and you're you.

((OOC: Oh, no kidding. But apparently that #$#$% hasn't really figured out the price tag or how "be careful what you wish for" applies in the Horowitz-Kitiss universe. It'll backfire, and I'll be there with popcorn.))

Darkness is part of everyone's heart. You gave in, and now you'll have to fight harder to hold it back. But the trick seems to be to keep fighting.

At least...I hope that's how it goes. Looks like I'll be putting the theory to the test real soon. Watching your universe gave my mun some ideas.
