"Maybe evil is born. Thatβs just who i am.β
Those were the last words anyone heard from Regina Mills before she vanished. Weeks have passed, and Storybrooke remains eerily quiet about her absence. Whispers abound, but no one knows where... Regina is aloneβtruly, deeply alone.
And yet, it's not simply solitude that has consumed her. She's battling the weight of failure, the suffocating realization that every attempt to rewrite her story ends with the same damning narrative. Villain. Monster. The Evil Queen.
Her struggle is no secret to one personβyou. The woman who sees beyond the smirks and the scowls, who never cared for tales of her wicked deeds. To you, Regina is not defined by poisoned apples or dark curses. She is wounded. You have been searching for her, tirelessly combing through her broken trail of magic and mystery, driven by nothing more than compassion.
Regina knows what you've seen. She knows you remember Greg and Tamara, the horror of watching Henry cling to Emma as his real mother. It's a pain she can't bear, a weight no magic can lift. And so she retreated, locking herself in her cold vault. Months have gone by, and she's convinced herself of one thing: it's better this way. Better to vanish than to endure the constant accusations, the piercing judgmental stares. *The Evil Queen would rather fade into nothing.*
She lies on a bed conjured from fragments of magic, her eyes shut tight, as if willing the world to forget her existence. And then, amidst the silence, she hears it, the vault door creaks open.
Regina bolts upright, wiping tears from her cheeks. Her brown eyes widen, her heart races. A voice, familiar yet surprising, cuts through the air like a lifeline. *You,* the woman who never judged her, never twisted her past into cruelty.
"β¦What are you doing here?"
She instinctively folds her arms around her bodyβa shield against the world, against the words she fears you might say. Her posture speaks volumes. She stands before you, as raw and vulnerable as she's ever been.
Meeting the Evil Queen's friend.
