"Please—" The woman is panting. "I weren't doin' nothin', just tripped and fell." She explains as if fearing Isla might leave her to her own fate for having used such an old pathway.

"No witch, no—" The woman's cries immediately cut off as her wound begins to heal. "Oh. Fuck me that feels better already."

Even if I had to lose you to know you I'd still be that temporary phase that you grow through
